Description:
Social media builds buzz and raises money, but what about real, on-the-ground change? The Social Change Challenge will crowdsource innovative ideas from nonprofits to change the world. We'll share big ideas for using social media for nonprofit program delivery and some good tips for crowdsourcing for social change.

  3. How do we measure the impact of social media for social change?
  4. What are some of the best examples of using social media to deliver programs that create real change?
  5. How do you convince your executive director or senior management that some of the best ideas can come from outside your organization?
  6. What are the best platforms and processes for crowdsourcing innovative ideas for social change?
  7. Who supports these ideas in real life?
  8. How do you support social change on the scale of the social web?
  9. What social media tools are particularly useful in this context?
  10. How do you keep supporters engaged in creating change over the long haul?

Here's the other proposed panelists

The panelists include Holly Ross, NTEN; David Neff, American Cancer Society; Kari Dunn Saratovsky; Case Foundation; Amy Sample Ward, Netsquared; and Joe Solomon. And like last year's ROI Poetry Slam, our session will be interactive, thought-provoking, and dare I say, fun! In addition, there's be lots of learning shared freely.

Great subject Beth. Look forward to hearing it. I had a lot of fun in the Poetry Slam last year. I hope to get down to reality too as I'm spending a lot of time talking to fundraisers about using social and new media to make $$$.

Really enjoying the conversation here about the panel. We're going to use two crowdsourcing models to create the content for the panel
a) crowd creation and b) crowd voting

Here's some more on crowdsourcing

Great session and questions! I think real world examples given for #4 will get people really engaged and then you can move the crowd from there!

Beth Kanter is a sea of knowledge. If she's not at SXSW there is no point in going!

Take every opportunity you can to pick David Neff's brain in person. He's the American Marketing Assoc. Nonprofit Social Media Marketer of the year for good reason. He's an incredibly creative thinker who can truly harness the power of social media for the greater good.

Beth - you had me at "What's the difference between building buzz and creating change on the ground?"

I had the privilege of moderating a panel with Beth in 2007 at SXSW and she is a GREAT DYNAMIC speaker! And her panel last year in complete verse has to have been the most unique panel of 2009!

Wait...there's a difference between buzz and social change?!

Beth Kanter is a brilliant cataloguer of and catalyst for meaningful online organizing. Anyone beginning to use the social web for social good makes Beth's Blog their first stop. And to the cynical crew who see social networks as nothing more than vehicles for feel-good petition-signing that goes nowhere, Beth skillfully offers dozens and dozens of examples of successful, thoughtful and effective uses of the social web by nonprofits, activists and community groups.

If the social web had a conscience and online organizers had a muse, Beth would be it.
