Unconference for Social Good Chiang Mai

[Rob Burns]

John Bardos is putting together an unconference for social good here in Chiang Mai next month. Details below.

Thanks
Rob

Unconference for Social Good Chiang Mai

February 23rd

Connecting Travelers, IT experts and Business Professionals with Non-Profit Organizations in S.E. Asia.

Join like minded professionals in a day of idea sharing, networking and collaboration to seek more effective ways of helping the most disadvantaged in the world.


Background

Business has undergone a major transformation in the last two decades. The dream of a couple people working on a startup in a garage and reaching the world has become more viable than ever. A laptop and internet connection are often the only ingredients necessary to bring world changing technologies to market.

The ethos of the start up and programming cultures are starting to have a massive impact on the social good sector as well. However, the culture of sharing, collaboration and the focus on action over planning are not widespread yet.

Attend the Unconference for Social Good in Chiang Mai to push the conversation further.

What can we do now to help alleviate the social problems that still exist in the world?

Rob, John -

I have a couple of contacts in Bangkok who are involved in social nonprofit work.  They are not really technical but might be able to benefit from learning about what tools are available, and possibly enlist some help with their work.  Do you think it might be beneficial for them to attend?

Thanks,

Keith

John -

Thanks for responding.  I assumed that the conference was technical in nature, but now I realize that was just my techno-prejudice. ;)

Sounds like a great idea.

Hi Keith, 

The event is an unconference format, based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology,  which means that attendees will propose and choose topics for breakout sessions. I think the value derived is entirely up to each individual participant. There will be many smart people in the room, so I personally think it will be hugely valuable. 

There is no technical focus, so that will not be a barrier. 

If your friends have any questions, please ask them to email me. 

All the best,

John
