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.
