Apologies if someone else already posted this but will anyone else be at this weeks CMX 2026 summit? If so, I plan to be there both days and would love to connect!

Hey all! The company I work for, Thrifty Traveler, is exploring launching a member Slack community this year, and we’re considering pairing it with Tightknit to make things more accessible, especially for our less tech-savvy members. We already have a pretty active premium Facebook group where many of those members are most engaged, so I’m especially curious about the transition piece. Has anyone here launched Slack alongside Tightknit within an established community? I’d love to hear what worked well, what didn’t, and any lessons learned—especially around onboarding, adoption, and getting members to shift platforms.

Hello Tightknit community, My name is Kat, and I’ve worked in events and community building/management for nearly 10 years. I was recently hired as the Community Marketing Manager at Thrifty Traveler, where I support our ever-growing travel community. I’m based in Minneapolis, MN, and I’m excited to learn more about Tightknit, how Tightknit can help support our community, and, of course, engage with all of you!
