As member–driven products and services continue to propel companies like Uber and Airbnb, what role do online communities play in the success of a product? Brianna Wettlaufer will speak about how to cultivate an online community that is healthy and engaged, serving as an engine for the success of a business. Through the story of her company’s pivot from crowd-sourcing to shared ownership and collaboration, she will describe the building blocks of an ethics–based business and how they relate to fostering loyalty among members and customers.
