The Big Social is a three-day worldwide gathering where Telligent’s customers, partners, social industry professional, friends and enthusiasts will be able to share insights, ideas and community solutions. Over the course of the three days, dozens of Telligent customers share first-hand the impact implementing an online community has had at their respective organizations.

In addition to hearing from Telligent executives, customers were given the option to attend technical or business sessions, usability labs, developer jams and workshops that shared best practices and case studies.

“Last year was an incredible success, and we look forward to making sure that The Big Social this year continues to live up to its name by creating an unforgettable world-class experience for the community enthusiasts who will be in attendance,” said Patrick Brandt, Telligent CEO. “This year’s event will have even more opportunities for customers to share best practices, tips and gain insight on how to further their business strategies with social community software.”
