Disclaimer: as a trustee of the 2020 Communications Trust I am trying to find a way to scale up this conference and workshop programme to a national level.

Wellington IT Trust is mounting another E-engage Your community event in November for non-profit organisations to make better use of their IT investment. This is a great way to gain some practical knowledge about the role of IT in meeting your real-world objectives and mixing with a bunch of smart people who have the answers to almost all the questions you might have that start, "how the hell do we .....?" Engage Your Community - a web conference for community organisations

• Date: Thursday 12 November and Friday 13 November
• Location: Massey University, Wellington,
• Programme: a full-day main conference plus a full day of hands-on workshops.

Including

• a keynote from Colin Jackson - The Internet: empowering your community
• Nathalie Hofsteede - Givealittle - Opportunities in the long tail of charity
• Chris Brown - communication strategy on the internet
• Andrea Walker - Oxfam New Zealand - Social media for non-profits on a shoe-string budget

Sign up here, tell them I sent you. No, there's no discount for that, it would just be good to know.
