May 30 & 31: NetSquared's online conference with nonprofit leaders | Social Signal

as posted on Corante's Civic Minded blog

Where can you find inspiration for online advocacy, guidance for online faclitation, and gossip about online politics? On Tuesday May 30th and Wednesday May 31st, NetSquared is hosting a remote conference featuring live chats and Q&A sessions with leaders from across the nonprofit web.

The remote conference is happening at the same time as a two-day confab in San Jose. After eight months of work on the NetSquared project, I'm heartbroken that I won't be there in person (something about not travelling in the ninth month of pregnancy, mutter mutter grumble) -- and absolutely determined that the online event will be so fabulous that when my colleagues return from San Jose, they're going to be jealous that I was the one who got to hang out in the chat room.

And what better way to get over that morning-after-the-Memorial-Day-before feeling than to spend the day chatting with leaders in nonprofit technology -- leaders like:

• Judith Feder on "Health care and web 2.0 patient communities"
• Rolf Kleef of Greenpeace
• Micki Krimmel of Participant Productions on "Media that Mobilizes: An Inconvenient Truth, ClimateCrisis and more tales from Participate.net"
• Beth Kanter on "Tagging in the Nonprofit World"
  
• Robyn Deupree of Bloglines Lisa Stone of BlogHer
  
• Alexandra Samuel of Social Signal on "Building Online Community: Behind the Scenes at NetSquared"
• Mike Linksvayer of Creative Commons on "Leveraging Technology for Free Culture and Your Nonprofit's Mission"
  
• Enoch Choi of Palo Alto Medical Foundation on "Tech Tools in Medicine: Personal Health Records, Mobile Devices, Blogging,Podcasting, Health Search & Tagging @ Google Co-op"
• Boris Mann from Bryght on "Open Source and your non-profit"
  
• Scott Heiferman from Meetup.com
  
• Nancy White of Full Circle on "Online Facilitation Open Discussion"
• Edward Vielmetti from the University of Michigan School of Information on "Superpatron: viewing libraries from a patron's point of view"

The remote conference is open to anyone with an Internet connection. And feel free to drop by the conference hallway for even more remote conference-y goodness.
