NetSquared Conference


From Britt Bravo, some information about the upcoming NetSquared Conference:

On May 30-31st in San Jose, CA the NetSquared Conference will convene early adopters, technologists, corporations, philanthropists, and nonprofit and non-governmental leaders to discuss and take concrete steps towards using social web tools like blogging, vlogging, tagging and podcasting for social change.

You can participate in the conference remotely in 3 ways:

1. Participate in the NetSquared chatroom where speakers like Mike Linksvayer of Creative Commons, Scott Heiferman of Meetup.com and Robyn Deupree of Bloglines will be sharing info. and answering questions.

2. Chat it up in the Conference Hallway chat room. We’re using Gabbly.com for both chats which is super easy and user-friendly.

The remote conference (live chat with speakers from the conference) has a couple of potentially interesting sessions for health-oriented social marketers including:

5/30 9 am (PDT) Judith Feder on “Health care and web 2.0 patient communities”

5/31 12 noon Enoch Choi of Palo Alto Medical Foundation on “Tech Tools in Medicine: Personal Health Records, Mobile Devices, Blogging,Podcasting, Health Search & Tagging @ Google Co-op”

Other sessions focus on additional ways to use technology for change, whatever the issue you are working on. I’m looking forward to seeing the reports from the sessions.
