Groundup ConneXion

Groundup ConneXion is a series of workshops that take place on a quarterly basis, designed to build the capabilities of groundup founders and core volunteers. We invite experts within our community to share their knowledge, and what's great about the whole experience is that you get to learn and grow whilst meeting like-minded individuals and fellow groundup leaders!
