Dear ISF Colleagues,
This will be the first time that Organizers Collaborative will be
offering this conference under the leadership of its new executive
director, Felicia Sullivan!
My experience of this conference is that an amazing cross-section of
folks attend it. Even if there were no program at all, the
conversations and learning opportunities are worth whatever it takes
to show up.
I've never attended this conference in anticipation of perfectly
planned logistics and high production values, but I fully expect that
we'll see a great leap forward this year.
Best regards from Deborah

8th Annual Organizers' Collaborative
Grassroots Use of Technology Conference
Friday & Saturday, June 22-23, 2007
co-located with the Grassroots Radio Conference and hosted at the
University of Massachusetts Lowell
OC's 8th annual conference is excited to be in Lowell, MA. Co-located
with the Grassroots Radio Conference
<http://www.grassrootsradioxii.org/> , we look to expand our impact in
using grassroots communication tools for social change.
The 2007 Conference will present tools intended to ease the challenges
nonprofits and organizing groups face in meeting their missions. More
effective use of email, dynamic websites, ideal data use, new social
networking tools, and rich online media are technologies that should
and can be used by organizations and movements to achieve thier goals.
Our co-location with the Grassroots Radio Conference will allow us to
expand our mission to bring the technology of radio to communities.
As always, the Grassroots Use of Technology conference is one of the
only events that brings technology and endusers together, allowing us
to learn from each other.
This event is also presented in collaboration with the CTC VISTA
Project <http://www.ctcvista.org/> at UMass Boston.
Registration will open in February 2007
