[GIVEAWAY CLOSED] [RECAP] Jumpstart 2025: Celebrating Community + BONUS chance to win swag!
There’s no better way to kick off a new year than with Community!
On behalf of the entire team, thank you all for joining us at Jumpstart 2025 with Community during one of the two showings. We got to look back at everything we accomplished together while peering ahead at so many exciting things to come, including our 10 year anniversary arriving next month. 🥳
Thank you to all of you who have been here with us for the last decade, just like Shaffi quoted below. You make this such a dynamic, supportive place!
"Being part of the Smartsheet Community over the past 10 years has been transformative, motivating me to pursue the certificate course, refine workflows, entangle complex formulas, and deploy tailored dashboards.” - @Shaffi Mithwani, Community member for 10 years
If you’re new to Community - welcome! We’re so glad you’re here.
If you couldn’t join us live, or you want to relive the good times, we’ve got all the highlights below. And read carefully - there might be some more opportunities to win prizes in this post, you just never know!
Community in review
- Named Community of the Year in the Super Forum Customer Awards 2024

Community Tips (Straight from our team)
- “If you’re answering a question in the Community, make sure you @ mention the person you’re responding to so they get a notification. If you @ mention and it doesn’t hyperlink, save your comment as a draft and in doing that, it will bring back the @ mention functionality.” - @Genevieve P.
- “Click an image to bring up the formatting menu and select your alignment and size options.” - @Georgie
- “Customize your notification preferences, decide which ones you want, and where you want to receive them.” - @Rebeca S.
- “When asking a question in the Community, make sure your posts are clear, concise and visually appealing. Besides images, you can use gifs and format your posts with headers, bullet points, or numbered lists.” - @Marcela
- “When you ask questions and you get an answer, remember to accept the answer or reject. This helps other members find your solutions if you accept, and if you reject, members know to keep helping you out.” - @Isaac A.

Woohoo, love opportunities for more swag!!
1) I love seeing the member spotlights to learn more about different Community members, but I think the Newsletter could be a good way to learn more about specific things different community members have done!
2) Fireworks!! 🎆🎇✨

#1: I’m not one for the spotlight, so I’d much prefer a shoutout in the Community Corner Newsletter.
#2: Fireworks! Go out with a BANG!

- I'd rather have a dedicated Member Spotlight post. Those deep-dives into who a community member is and what their interests are and life is like are really cool. It's a constant reminder that the people we engage with here on the platform are real and have interesting lives.
- Fireworks for sure!

- Neither. Smartsheet is a simple and clutter free work zone for me. I wish to keep it that way. Simplicity breeds creativity.

- I think the member spotlight is a highlight in the community corner newsletter, I look forward to reading a bit more about the great members of this community.
