Hosted by CMX, Led by Community, and The Community Collective, the second edition of Loop was a global relay of ideas, connection, and inspiration. Across sessions spanning APAC, Europe, and North America, community leaders took the mic to share insights, strategies, and stories shaping the future of our work.
