WHO WE ARE
Our community
Tempo was born from a shared passion for bringing people together through communities to learn and grow.
The community is a group of exceptionally talented content leaders who lead design and content design.
​
We work to support and elevate each other, sharing resources, solving problems, and learning at events and conferences.
​
Many of our community members are great conference speakers, and if you're looking for a leader to speak at your next design event, why not view their profiles and make that connection?
