SXSW – Come say Hello

Hey Gang. Looks like I was lucky enough to get a slot speaking at SXSW this year. In fact I got two! Not only is this a first for someone representing non profits, this is a huge step in our representation at SXSW. For the first time in my life I will be speaking at SXSW Interactive AND SXSW Film!

SXSW also contacted me about something very special going down this year…more on that when I can talk about it. In the meantime take a look and let me know which sessions you can come to. Don’t be shy. Come say hello!

Non-profits and cause-driven organizations are rapidly turning to new media to tell their stories. Panelists will provide advice to filmmakers, non-profits, novices and grassroots organizations looking to spread their message with film and video.

Crowd Sourcing Innovative Social Change

Social media builds buzz and raises money, but what about real, on-the-ground change? The Social Change Challenge will crowdsource innovative ideas from nonprofits to change the world. We’ll share big ideas for using social media for nonprofit program delivery and some good tips for crowdsourcing for social change.

Gather for Good? New Eventbrite Features

Check out the new program from Eventbrite. We use Eventbrite for a lot of our ticket sales and events. I know this would help us a lot. Now just to get that dang 501c3.

“Eventbrite is thrilled to announce a new program for nonprofit events: Eventbrite for Causes. We wanted to create a program dedicated to helping the nonprofit community further their missions through successful events. Program members will receive dedicated newsletters chock full of resources, and we plan to foster a community where they can easily find and share tips and best practices related to the unique challenges and opportunities of hosting nonprofit events. In addition, there will be a streamlined process for eventholders to obtain a special nonprofit rate. All U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status are eligible to participate in the program.”
