Web of Change

While it's never fun to have to turn interested people away, we're delighted to announce that the Social Tech Training is sold out.

With just over a week to go, we're very excited to be bringing together such a talented and diverse group of people for three days of intensive learning.

If you were hoping to attend, and missed your chance to register, please send an email to julia@communicopia.com. We'll put you on the waiting list, and make sure to keep you appraised of future events!

We’ve been hard at work the past few weeks, putting together a strong and comprehensive agenda for the Social Tech Training.

Working with a team of experienced social tech leaders, our biggest challenge has been to choose what to focus on! Many of the topics we’ve selected could be entire workshops in and of themselves.

We’ve done our best to select the topics that we feel are the most useful to social change organizations, and to arrange the “flow” for maximum effect.

The Social Tech Training website (and registration!) is now live.

We're really excited about this workshop – it's our biggest event of this year, we've got a handful of talented Web of Changers on faculty, and we're working with a terrific team at MaRS. Plus, the agenda is shaping up to be amazing – to our knowledge, there is no other training like this.

As you know, many organizations (companies as well as NGOs) these days are seeking that mythical person who understands the web, understands social networks, understands the opportunities and the challenges that the web offers for deepening engagement, and can take leadership in that space. So we've created the training we would want to go to, and send our staff to – to help people create leaders and build capacity to harness the web as a tool for social change.

We are very excited to announce an exciting new venture for the Web of Change tea. Together with MaRS in Toronto, we are co-producing a three-day Social Tech Training for the social change sector – June 22-24, 2008.

This event is a unique and exciting opportunity for social change groups to build a personalized Web 2 plan customized for their needs and developed through a collaborative and hands-on process. Do you know anyone who might benefit from that? Please help us spread the word!

We're really happy to be working with MaRS on this, and pulling in as faculty several amazing leaders from our Web of Change community. Stay tuned for more information soon!
