Greetings!
Saturday, June 28, 2008, marks our ninth annual Grassroots Use of Technology conference!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Registration is Open
This year's event will be held at UMASS Lowell and is just $75 ($35 limited income)
which includes coffee and a morning snack, lunch and afternoon refreshments.
You can register on-line with a credit card through Wild Apricot. [http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001jxZL_JHpYNWPp9YST4pdMt1Sj-kK7eTPHF85QPQsUC...]

Connect, Communicate, Collaborate
This year's theme is "Connect, Communicate, and Collaborate"; it
focuses on the new technologies and organizing tools available for
connecting organizers and their communities.
Nick Jehlen [http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001jxZL_JHpYNVDiyaXjcycLjwfC95HDJchMi3PQRipr6...]
will be joining us this year with a keynote address speaking to his work on Iraq
Veterans Against the War's Winter Soldier [http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001jxZL_JHpYNX8QxuAK5JDeFLISG4CpVX_8mb9dBHFHF...]campaign.
At a time when the nation wrestles with questions about the
war and while grassroots activists and advocates experiment with ways
to influence the big ticket issues of the day, IVAW, with Nick's help,
boldly stepped out off the beaten path to bring together hundreds of
veterans to address the occupations abroad and the neglect at home.
Nick's talk will show how they made careful and appropriate use of a
wide range of communications technologies and tools.
There will be three workshop sessions, and each session will have 5
or 6 concurrent presentations. Workshops will be identified by
technical level; the program is designed to be accessible to beginners
while offering options for tech experts.
We are still working on the final schedule, but here are just a few of the workshops
you can expect to see this year:
On-Line Polls and e-Campaigning in Resource-Poor Communities
Keeping it Simple: technology tools that won't make you want to rip your hair out
Taking your website to the next level with free online tools
Strategies for shaping the media/tech future
Building a News Portal with Drupal
The Untapped Power of Social Networks for Grassroots Action
Facebook to Phone Trees: Multi-Generational Outreach Strategies
Managing & Recruiting Tech volunteers
Helping Your Computer System Grow Up
Voter Databases
.....And More!
If you need overnight accommodations, UMASS Lowell has dorms available at reasonable
rates; $50 per person for a single room and $34 per person for a shared room. Rooms
can be reserved when you register for the conference.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
Don't wait, register today. [http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001jxZL_JHpYNWPp9YST4pdMt1Sj-kK7eTPHF85QPQsUC...]
We hope to see you on June 28!
Sincerely,
