Coming to NTC? Real Men wear Aprons
Hey Gang,
I am going all out at NTC this year! Not only am I speaking at two great panels I will also be live tweeting the conference and be hanging out in the Ridgewood : Ingenious Communications Booth. So please if you read this blog, follow my tweets or think I give value to this community come say hello! Also don’t forget to tell me the difference in aprons I am wearing from my NTEN video to the panel to win a prize!
The two panels I am on are:

You’ve heard the buzz around how nonprofit organizations and corporations are using social media for social good. Now hear from the “real housewives of social media” who are driving successful online campaigns, as well as others who are helping lead the social media revolution.
The Next Gen of Giving – Where do you stand?
Hey Gang. The fine folks over at Convio have released some interesting stats on the next generation of online giving. Basically it’s a research study into the charitable giving behaviors and attitudes of Gen Y, Gen X, Boomer and Mature donors from Convio, Edge Research and Sea Change Strategies.
The art and science of fundraising, as we know it, is undergoing rapid and permanent change driven by technology, the imperative to attract new donors, and by the evolving traits of different generations of supporters. This report is a contribution to understanding this change and offers some strategic guidance for fundraisers who are struggling to keep up with it.

SXSW Summary – Crowd Sourcing Social Change
Hey All,
So I am back from SXSW (such a loooong trip 
) and wanted to do a quick re-cap of all the amazing things we learned from folks at our “Crowd Sourcing Innovative Change Panel”. The best part for me was hearing from the over 300 people who packed into our room to hear the panel. They had an amazing array of ideas and arguments that bursted at the seams to be hears. It’s the largest crowd I have spoken too at SXSX so far. Here are some of the great articles people wrote about the panel to represent those thoughts.
- Crowdsourcing Customer Service
- Beth Kanter UStream Interview
- How scrappy is your Crowdsourcing?
- The #CrowdX Hashtag Results (pages and pages)
And of course here is our Powerpoint:
