Web of Change 2020
Web of Change 2020 was scheduled for April 20-23. It was then postponed to November, 2020, due to COVID-19.
We are working with the community to organize online conversations and gatherings. A decision about the next in-person gathering (or if we should even have one) will be made around March, 2021.
We miss you. Take care of yourselves, stay tuned and please stay in touch online.
What It's All About
Web of Change is where diverse leaders working at the intersection of technology, media and social change come to up their game. Over four days, we candidly share front-line campaign experiences, reflect upon and learn from our impact on change, build skills and find the network needed to do transformational work.
Web of Change balances professional development and technical skills sharing with relationship building.
This – 2020, the whole year – is a pivotal moment in the future of our work as changemakers. It’s a critical time for our campaigns, organizations and communities. Find out more about some of the themes we’re looking at bringing into this year’s event.
“Being at Web of Change reminds you why you do this work, and that you’re not alone.”
