If you work at the intersection of technology and community-building, we hope you'll join us at Workspace (located at 21 Water Street in Gastown) for the March gathering of Social Tech Brewing's Vancouver chapter. Social Tech Brewing brings together folks from social media, nonprofit organizations, community service, social activism, social ventures and technology to share ideas -- and beer!

Our March event will bring together people who are using Second Life and other virtual worlds as environments for learning and community-building. Our speakers will be Chuck Hamilton, a Learning Solutions Leader for IBM, and Gerri Sinclair, Executive Director of the Masters in Digital Media program at Great Northern Way Campus (GNWC), a collaboration between the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design, and the British Columbia Institute of Technology. Chuck is leading the new IBM@PLAY program that was one of the winning initiatives to emerge out of IBM's Innovation Jam, and will give us a snapshot of how IBM is using Second Life as a space for collaboration and training. Gerri will give us the scoop on GNWC's Second Life campus, which is the most talked-about Second Life project to emerge out of the Lower Mainland.

Whether you're already exploring Second Life or other virtual worlds, or you're curious to find out what the buzz is all about, this is a great chance to meet some of the leading innovators and hear about some very exciting projects We also hope this event will attract people working in Second Life, other virtual worlds and the gaming community to come out and join us -- this a great chance for us to meet up in the real world. Presentations & discussion will start at 7:00 and wrap by 7:45. At about 8:00 we'll move across the street to 6 Acres pub for another hour of libations, gossip exchange, and general consipracy-hatching. Please RSVP and let us know you're coming. We hope to see you there!

From the NetSquared web site:

In May 2007, 350 members of the NetSquared community are invited to the Cisco campus for a new technologies for social benefit project incubation platform. Building on the strength of the NetSquared community and the success of the first-ever NetSquared 2006 Conference, N2Y2 further extends our efforts to bring corporate and public philanthropist together with web developers, nonprofits, NGOs and the nonprofit-serving tech (NTAP) community. The challenge to us all will be to define and develop proposals with:

  1. the deepest social benefit potential
  2. utilization of innovative social tools and
  3. the strongest levels of collaboration and commitment.

In other words, let’s turn the best nonprofit technology ideas into real tools that can help change the world.

Imagine a situation where all eyes are on you or your organization, and you need to communicate quickly, clearly and effectively... probably under severe stress, with a lot more noise than signal out there.

It's called crisis communications. And whether it's something as serious and far-reaching as a natural disaster, or as personal as the arrival of a newborn, you'll want to be prepared.

Discover how organizations large and small use social media to keep the lines of communications open when it matters the most. Learn how to use blogs to correct misinformation and get your message out. And find out why you need to build relationships and networks now... before you need to use them.

Part of Northern Voice 2008. More info here.
