CBC’s Legacy: Past, Present, Future

Net Tuesday is proud to be a media sponsor for this event put on by our pals at Gen Y Media Project, LeadNow.ca and OpenMedia.ca

The best way for the CBC to thrive is to build a community of supporters who have a true sense of ownership over the organization. To this end, as part of a national campaign led by media advocacy groups, Gen Why Media is bringing together seasoned professionals, up-and-coming CBC talent, outside experts, media innovators, and citizens in a celebratory event that will add new energy to the CBC and help articulate a fresh vision for public media.DATE: May 7th, 2012 | 7pm–10pmVENUE: The Vogue Theatre

Meetup: Online Tools for Charity. Speed Dating Format

Imagine Pecha Kucha meets the Association of Fundraising Professionals meets Ted Talks meets SXSW meets Speed Dating (well, ok, maybe something a little less extreme)
Quick, helpful ideas that are current and fresh. This is designed for experts and newbies alike. A chance to showcase the latest and greatest tools that are working.
We have pre-organized some people to share BUT this evening is going open source.

We want to hear from YOU. What is the latest tool you’re using? What’s working? What’s not?
Has anything come out of SXSW that you’re now using for your charity?

Some people lined up so far:

Jeff Golby — Something interesting
Farrah Rooney — My experience with Convio
Veronica Collins — Communicating your Brand Online
Brady Josephson — Online Contests for Charities
Helen Stortini — Using Sparked.com for Getting Volunteers
YOU!

True to the nature of short snippets, if it’s not helpful for you, it’s only 5 minutes. We’re sure someone will share something relevant to you and your organization.

Be prepared to share. If you share you’ll get a fun prize!

Each presenter is given 5 minutes to share about their latest/greatest tool/idea.

This will also be a great night of networking, connecting and inspiration.
