If your application is successful, we will provide further support to guide you through our sign-up process.

Discourse is a platform purpose-built for professional groups, networks, and communities to connect, communicate, and collaborate. They are passionate about helping community creators (like us) to grow communities of expertise of the highest quality, integrity, and value. That’s why Inside Out chose the Discource platform to host our membership community for in-house creative leaders.

Our member portal is where you can gain access to all your leading and resources, event recording, and access to the online community hub on Discourse.

Every member receives a digital membership badge. This badge can be shared on social media platforms and on your email signature to showcase your membership.

Yes. A summary of the Breakfast Club discussions are always posted on the Discourse as a summary post a few days after the session.

Our community was born out of the success of the Inside Out® Awards. For every team who participated in the awards, the more work we saw, the more we learned, the more connections we made. Before we knew it, a community of in-house creative leaders had been formed.
