Discussion Groups

What Are Discussion Groups? 

Community Discussion Groups are where deeper connections happen. Unlike product communities—which focus on Adobe product support—online groups are designed for broader conversations. They bring together members with shared interests, roles, or goals, whether you want to explore a topic, join a learning cohort, or connect with peers in your industry. Discussion Groups foster collaboration, networking, and meaningful discussions beyond product-specific help. 

Why Join a Discussion Group? 

• Connect with peers: Find others who share your challenges and goals. 

• Learn together: Participate in collaborative discussions and feedback sessions. 

• Expand your network: Build relationships with professionals across industries and roles. 

• Access exclusive opportunities: Join beta programs, advocacy initiatives, and early access cohorts. 

Types of Discussion Groups 

Discussion Groups are product-agnostic and focus on deeper topic exploration around strategy, role, industry, learning, or feedback.  

Discussion Groups also have different visibility settings including: 

• Public Groups: Anyone can join. These groups are great for broad topics and shared interests—like marketing trends, AI, or cross-product strategies. 

• Private (Approval-Required) Groups: Some groups require approval to join. These are often focused on specific roles or programs, such as partner communities, or learning circles. 

• Hidden (Invite-Only) Groups: These private spaces are for special programs like beta testing, early access, or advocacy initiatives.
