What is Slack?

Slack is a communication hub that can replace email to help you and your community connect seamlessly. It’s designed to support the way people naturally work together, so you can connect with people online as efficiently as you do face-to-face.

THE SANDBOX has been using Slack as a communication tool since opening, and many of our members use within their own organizations as well!

Slack has a great knowledge base to get started, you can read more about that here.

If you haven’t received an invite to THE SANDBOX’s Slack, you can request one here. Otherwise, here’s a link to sign in.

We highly recommending downloading the desktop application and/or the mobile app available on Android and iOS.
