This year was Helpful Village's fourth time attending the National Village Conference hosted by the Village to Village Network. The Conference was an incredible event that brought Village Leaders from all over the country (and world!) to meet and talk about the Village Movement. The week spent in Chicago was packed with stimulating lectures, refreshing breakout sessions, and thought-provoking discussions.
Our team had the privilege to present at the conference and it was a blast! Many Village leaders appreciated the ease-of-use and tools we presented. With that, Helpful Village was voted by conference participants as the "Most Likely to Buy" Technology of the Conference!

One of the main concepts throughout the entire Conference was the importance and power of smart data and using it for building a strategic vision for Villages. Here at Helpful Village we whole-heartedly agree! That is why we have worked hard building the new Executive Reports that we debuted in Chicago during our presentation! We showed that with a press of a button, Village Leaders can see where their Village is and where they are headed.
During the Conference, we were able to spend time with so many familiar faces as well as new ones! Did you see us at the Conference?

Congratulations on such a meaningful achievement and for supporting communities through innovative technology. It's inspiring to see how Helpful Village continues improving its platform while helping organizations grow with better insights and collaboration. I recently came across basketball zero codes while exploring gaming updates, and it's interesting how different online communities continue to share useful resources and ideas.
Set in a creepy alternate version of 1955, That's Not My Neighbor creates an atmosphere where paranoia becomes part of the gameplay itself. The game rewards careful observation, making every successful detection feel incredibly satisfying and every mistake genuinely terrifying.
Really enjoyed reading this recap—it sounds like the conference was both insightful and energizing, especially with the focus on smart data and community growth. In a completely different note for downtime, I’ve been playing Stickman Hook lately and it’s such a simple but addictive way to unwind after a busy day. Definitely one of those games that’s surprisingly relaxing once you get into the rhythm!
