Happy 10th Anniversary RealKM Magazine!

Celebrating 10 big years!

Ten years ago today, on 18 August 2015, RealKM Magazine went live and welcomed its very first readers, with a very big thanks to the foresight of founder Stephen Bounds.

Back then, in our infancy, many of our articles were basic at best, and we were very excited when they attracted as many as 100 readers. In the time since, we’ve progressively grown to where we’ve had over 2 million views of our more than 2 thousand articles, and many of our articles now attract thousands of views within days!

A big THANK YOU to the RealKM Patrons!

A big 10th anniversary THANK YOU goes to our RealKM Patrons, whose generous support makes the continuation of RealKM Magazine possible!

A very special thanks goes to Platinum Patron Dr Arthur Shelley, who has been our most significant financial supporter for most of RealKM Magazine‘s life. We are deeply grateful to Arthur for both his outstanding support for RealKM and his decades of KM community leadership. We very much look forward to his keynote presentation in the KM Triversary Forum!

Become a PatronThis year, we’re excited to have launched our new RealKM Patron Showcase which offers better rewards in return for the generous support provided by our Patrons. So, please also think about becoming a RealKM Patron yourself, and in doing so making a very valuable contribution to the future of KM!
