Events and community for nonprofits curious about technology.
Claire Kerr is knocking it out of the park these days with her hilarious slide decks.
If you get a chance to see her speak (she’s based out of Toronto and works for Artez) you should. You will laugh: the decks are funny because they’re true.
Also, she is a hat friend.
And here’s her Ignite presentation from the NTC 2012 conference.
I am particularly enamoured of “tedious data entry for social good”.
OH @NetTuesdayYVR last night: “I’ve learned more here in an hour & half than at three days of the AFP conference. And this was free.” #ntvan

HUGE thanks to Darian Kovacs for putting the event together. This is the first time that a monthly meetup was planned, promoted and hosted without my involvement, and I couldn’t be happier that Net Tuesday is evolving from a solo project into a self-sustaining volunteer-led institution.

P.S. I’m also grateful for Chad Leaman‘s good ears.
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
Event details:
• Opening Performance: Percussion drumming representing the variety of cultures that highlight Canada’s diverse talent, cultural innovation and artistic excellence.
• Storytelling: three cultural creators tell stories about how the CBC has been pivotal to their lives, careers and understanding of their country. Stories from: John MacLachlan Gray, Ivan Coyote and Christine McAvoy.
• Visioning (6-minute visual presentations): As the CBC reflects on and celebrates its 75-year history, how do we imagine it’s future? How will the CBC grow over the next 75 years? What areas for growth, change, transformation, and innovation could it pursue? What ideas or models could inspire its next generation of work? Visions from: Wade Davis, Kathleen Cross, Sean Devlin, Steve Pratt, Jarrett Martineau and Nettie Wild.
• Closing Performance: Local Super Group of indie musicians. Performances by: Dan Mangan, Aidan Knight, Hannah Epperson and Zachery Gray.

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:
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.

Net Tuesday Vancouver – presented by NetSquared
Please join us for Net Tuesday’s first pub night!
We cancelled our regularly scheduled meetup because we found out that you’re shy. You don’t like talking about your failures in public.
What’s the solution to your reticence? Liquor!
But seriously, please come to connect with us in a less formal setting than the monthly meetup.
Sorry – no minors allowed this time.
P.S. Come early if you want free snacks.

I went to the Web of Change conference in 2007 and it was a life-changing event (for the good!)
Along with Anna and Gregory, I have schemed up WOCxNTC. If you’re a Web of Change alumni going to the NTC conference this April (or if you call San Francisco home) we’d love to have you join us.
We’ll gossip, have a snack, grab a drink and perhaps wander off afterwards to join one of the Progressive Parties.
In summary: we’ll have some fun!
Please RSVP to confirm your attendance. Seating is limited to 12.
Date: Wednesday, April 4. 7pm.
Location:
Urban Tavern
