Presentations

• Kevan Gilbert, UGM: Learn how Vancouver non-profit Union Gospel Mission raised almost $500,000 online last year without even meaning to, and hear words like "ROI" and "Facebook" used in the same sentence.  Kevan Gilbert from UGM will be talking about UGM's 2008-2009 web strategy (complete with fancy charts and graphs), and about how non-profits can engage web communities without overstaying their welcome.
• Will Trusty, Creator of SavethePlanetOnline.org, will share the story behind the Facebook Group "Save the Planet One App at a Time" and discuss 3-4 facebook apps that help you make a difference.
• Lisa Thomas-Tench: The landscape of change in developing countries is shifting through the advent of social media. Communities in Africa in particular are turning away from traditional, top-down development models and are connecting and forging new revenue-generating partnerships through the web. This discussion explores social media models for development through the eyes of community change agents in Uganda, Kenya, South Africa and Swaziland.
• Kori Brus, Online Campaigner for Vision Vancouver: Kori will talk about the new, open, and participative website for Gregor Robertson and Vision Vancouver - which was strategized by Communicopia and built by Agentic.
