Description Sometimes the best things that happen aren't planned. The same is true for successful online communities. Facebook started out as a closed network of Ivy League students. Today, it's a global phenomenon shaping our age. The Spiceworks community was a software engineer's pet idea that was almost nixed by the CEO . Now it's the world's largest community of small business tech professionals. While it's important to actively care for your community, the most successful flourish by learning how to capitalize on happy accidents. In this session, community experts from Spiceworks will share ways you can recognize and make the most of happy accidents. From picking an orange dinosaur as a mascot to using chili peppers as a rating scale, come learn about all the accidents we've had along the way and how we've made lemons into lemon hand grenades.
