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:
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.
