I’m thrilled to announce that the London Net Tuesday is officially here! The community in London and around the UK is ready for a solid, monthly event that brings together social changemakers (whether a nonprofit organization in the traditional sense, a group of interested citizens, social venture capitalists or an individual with an idea) and technological forerunners together to mix, swap stories and ideas, build new relationships, and collaborate on new projects.
Details for the first event:
- Date: 4 November, 2008
- Time: 5:30-7:30 pm
- Topic: Head-to-head Blogging (see below)
- Location: CTT, 1 London Bridge
- Provided: Snacks and coffee/tea
- Bring: Your brain, your energy, your business cards
- RSVP: London NetSquared Group
The 4 Nov. event topic is blogging. But not just some folks talking about blogging who already use it, or only want to talk about their own blog. This is going to be a bit more fun: we will have a select group ‘representing’ their preferred blogging platform go head-to-head over the capabilities, functionality, and general goodness of their chosen platform. This way we can hear the ins and outs of platforms in a way we may not usually experience. This discussion will be followed by a conversation with questions and answers about the various ways nonprofit organizations can introduce and utilize blogs to connect with communities.
We hope to kick these monthly events off right with a great group of people, some lively presentations/conversation, and lots of networking – come join us on the 4th!
