Web 2.0 for Good

April 03, 2006

Conferences | Friends & Allies

A few weeks ago I attended a planning session for Web 2.0 for Good, a one day open space conference to be held on May 22, 2006 at the RSA here in London. Here's a draft description:

Web 2.0 for Good is the first event in the UK to explore how Web-based tools such as blogs, wikis, podcasting and social bookmarking can be used to promote social change and innovation. These new tools offer unprecedented potential for campaigning organizations, charities, public sector bodies, social entrepreneurs and CSR practitioners to extend their reach, prominence and impact. Web 2.0 for Good will bring together over 100 early adopters, technologists, bloggers and writers to take practical steps to make the Web a tool for social change. The event will explore not just what these tools are but the values and philosophy that underpin their use.

I'm extremely excited about this event for two reasons: first, it picks up exactly where our discussions at the eCampaigning Forum left off back in January, and second, because my colleague Juhi Shareef and I have been retained by Policy Unplugged to co-ordinate and manage the event.

I'll post more as things come together — now to reach out to my network of "Web 2.0 for Good" people back in Canada and beyond to ask for their input and advice :)
