On Tuesday, 22 April 2008 there's a one-day conference in Hamilton, New Zealand called Engage Your Community:

Using Blogs, YouTube and other Cool Tools to achieve your group's goals

Do you want to know how your tangata whenua, community or voluntary group / organisation can connect with volunteers, staff, and other stakeholders more easily, immediately and efficiently?

Do you want to learn to use the internet for fundraising, collaborating, promotion, advocacy, cost-cutting, service provision, and more?

And do all this with very little technical knowledge and at very little cost (often free)? Then read … www.webguide.net.nz/engage-your-community.

…You can also help shape the conference and make sure it meets your organisation's needs by completing a quick online survey.

By completing the survey right away, you can also go into the draw for two $50 Farmer's vouchers.
