Following the start of our Community Month, we had quite some thoughts in the last days about how value is created for the Sandbox community. We came to the following figure that summarizes the three key areas we identified:

1. Local value
- Meet fellow members in real life at Sandbox Dinners
- Be invited to exciting local events and conferences
- Meet high profile senior people

2. Travel value
- Meet Sanbox Ambassadors in every of our hubs, who will introduce you to the local members
- Find a couch to sleep on when on the road

3. Global value
- Meet people globally
- Get access to a range of services (jobs, speaking engagements, access to investors for your projects)
- Find partners for your projects
- Exchange ideas

What do you think of this way of presenting value-added to members? Can you imagine a better visualization? What did we forget?

In the past months, we have been working hard to create value for our members, connecting them with each other, organizing dinners all around the world, offering them unique opportunities and facilitating the creation of some really cool projects.

But at the same time, we have the feeling that we could do much more. Therefore we announce that October will be the Community Month, a month during which we will work internally and together with the community on finding new ways to generate value for our members.

We will share our ideas with you on this blog during the next 4 weeks. And on November 2, you will learn more about the services to be launched!
