I’m so excited to see a Mobile Tech 4 Change event coming to London – but super disappointed I can’t be here to participate (I’ll be at N2Y4 Mobile Challenge Conference in San Jose). If you are interested in mobile technology and its application for social change projects, this is definitely an event to check out. It is barcamp style, so come with your questions and topics you want to talk about; come meet lots of others interested in leveraging mobile technology for change and collaborate!
