Event details: Net Tuesday Vancouver: Using Web 2.0 For Social Change!
Description
Every month, SOCIAL CHANGE MAKERS and WEB INNOVATORS come together at NetTuesday events to mix, swap stories, build new relationships, and collaborate on new ideas.
Whether you're working in the nonprofit/social change sector or Vancouver 's technology hub – you're invited to join us for great conversations, networking, and community building!
Our kick-off event will feature a presentation by Tom Williams of GiveMeaning.com – entitled “Mobilizing Your Evangelizers” - an overview of how nonprofits and social change groups can use the social web to engage members, reach out to new supporters, and explore new ways to fund raise.
Followed by a presentation by Peter Endisch of the Wildlife and Environmental Activist Network, sharing his recent and unique experiences with social media and online tools.
Plus a demo by the great folks behind LiveVote.ca and a conversation about how this Vancouver based startup can be used by the social change community.
This event is FREE and starts at 5:30, with presentations from 6-7pm. (approximately)
