Captico is a sponsor of the Nonprofit 2.0 Un-Conference

After some delay, its finally time for Washington DC’s Nonprofit 2.0 Unconference dedicated to those using social media to create networked communities and movements, enable volunteers and political action, and cultivate donors and partners for causes. This event focuses on those who’s communications impact society, benefiting Americans and citizens across the globe in an effort to change society for the better.

Captico’s New Media Coordinator Corrie Davidson will be on hand to snaginformal on-the-spot interviews with event attendees. You can also follow the conference through Captico’s Twitter account.

The unConference Format*

Following the keynote sessions, we start with a blank wall and, in less than an hour, with a facilitator guiding the process attendees create a full day, multi-track conference agenda that is relevant and inspiring to everyone in the room. All are welcome to put forward presentations or propose conversations that you would like to have with others and:

• questions you want answered
• information you want to share/present
• a project you would like help on
• any number of forms

What happens During Sessions?*

• As sessions happen people volunteer to document the outcomes on a wiki (The notes of what was said is even better). Photos of any whiteboards are also important along with any slides that were presented.
• At the end of the day everyone gathers in one place to share highlights of the day.
