Renewd is an open and free community with no office space and no full-time staff. Just a lot of great and useful programs to help specialized subscription, membership, and event professionals.
We named the community Renewd for 3 reasons:
- This is a community of professionals working with renewable business models – subscriptions, memberships, and events.
- Founded during the 2020 pandemic, Renewd is intended to be a source of renewed ideas and inspiration to help you maintain and grow your business.
- While industry associations are having a hard time attracting and retaining members, we believe the networking and learning benefits can be had through a renewed model where much of the community and programming is free and open to all.
Renewd is a self-run community that is here to serve you. It gets better every day as new members join, so welcome!
