We are happy to announce the first SocialChangeCamp in New York City, which aims to bring together non-profits, NGOs, community organizations, corporate responsibility teams, museums, schools, and other public interest organizations together with new media and technology professionals to talk about the new state of giving and review techniques and solutions that have worked. We will hold our camp in the BarCamp style.
What's a BarCamp?
BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees. The event doesn't cost any money, but there is a price: all attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one. Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn are welcome and invited to join. When you come, be prepared to share with barcampers. When you leave, be prepared to share it with the world.
Target audience
- Executive directors and influence makers from non-profits, public organizations, museums, schools who want to learn more about using social media technology.
- Technologies and marketers who wish to share their experiences working with social media to benefit these organizations.
Registration
Coming soon.
