• We have Jay and Ryanne – the star Video Blog experts of the US presenting at the conference and also running a fantastic workshop on Wed 13^th ( Book early for this one!) Check out their awesome site showing how it can be done - raise the profile of your community group! http://ryanishungry.com

• Workshops – have a go!
  • Ever used Video conferencing equipment?

What a line up so far!

And all of this is set in the lovely venue of Brighton Novotel – resort style, pools, gym – the works………………….. on the beach! Why not stay the weekend!

……Oh alright if I have to go! : )

You will learn, share, meet, laugh, hear the light bulbs go off and hopefully connect some of the dots for your organisation on communicating, marketing, fundraising, and managing via the latest technologies.

Connecting Up 09. We aim to bring you more world class presenters and exciting case studies from people just like you from all around Australia, dig deeper into the issues of using the technology to build capacity and the management of all that “new information and communication media”. We will also build in some workshops to allow you to be “hands on” and “have a go” with some new technologies.

This conference is for forward thinking Nonprofit CEO’s and key staff/ marketers………….those who want to learn enough about ICT to be dangerous……….to take your organisation to the leading edge of the nonprofit sector!

One of the take away pointers from this year’s conference was that technology is the tool or medium which provides powerful ways for us to market better, to fundraise better, to manage better, to communicate better, to engage membership better, to research better, to measure better, to deliver services, to save time, to save dollars, to drive income more efficiently………and, and, and!

The challenge is to unlock the doors on how we can do all this, where to start and what are the ground rules for a world of fast and furious communication!
Stay tuned for more to come and please tell us your thoughts and burning issues.
