On Friday, October 15th at 12:15 p.m. PST, we’re facilitating a session at the BlogWorld New Media Expo exploring what’s most effective in inspiring, equipping and mobilizing people to make a difference and take real world action.
We’ll be joined as facilitators by of KaBOOM and of Crowdrise.
This won’t be a ‘talking heads’ panel discussion. Instead we’ll be calling on the wisdom of the crowd and challenging participants to drive real-world action right there, in the moment, from the conference room. (And there will be some cool prizes too!)
Session participants will compete to earn points and prizes for creating real-world actions that range from simple, like re-tweeting of messages, to more complex commitments like persuading friends, fans or conference attendees not in the ro
om to pose for humorous photos or make commitments to charities or causes they care about.
Between the four of us, we have boatloads of experience mobilizing people to make a difference. If you’re coming to Blogworld and you attend our session, we’ll share simple best-practice strategies as well as demonstrate the way that social media can amplify your power to create change and involve friends, family, community volunteers and others in your local and networked communities.
There couldn’t be a better time to talk about mobilizing people to take real world action. October 23, 2010, just one week after Blogworld closes, marks the 20th anniversary of Make A Difference Day, the largest national day of community service. We hope you’ll Make A Difference in your community.
