HOBA Tech April 2026 — New Articles, Community Growth & Partner Monthly Call
Here's your April 2026 wrap-up from HOBA Tech. This month we published three new articles, ran our first Partner Monthly Call, hosted eight live Q&A sessions, and the HOBA Community continued to grow. Here's what went down.
The HOBA Community Is Growing
The HOBA Community is gaining momentum. Members across all four sub-communities — Academy, Partners, Support, and Enterprise — are posting, sharing resources, and showing up to live calls every week.
In April alone we hosted eight live Q&A sessions, ran our first Partner Monthly Call, and published new content and recordings for members every week. If you're not in yet, the community is open now.
