Social Innovation Meetup
This location is shown only to members
This month, we're going to be thinking about the economy.
But - for a change - it's not going to be all doom and gloom.
We reckon the recession could be an opportunity; it's a great time for new ideas.
Are there ways we'll need to adapt to spending less cash as jobs are lost? Will there be more Freecycling? A bigger market for OwnGrown? Or will different ways of borrowing and lending money be increasingly important? And how can we help people who've lost their jobs? What are the ways we'll be finding new careers and ways of working?
Join us for beer and some good conversation on April 22nd.
(And remember, the call for ideas for our next Social Innovation Camp weekend is open: send us your idea that uses the web to create social change and you could be joining 100 other Social Innovation Campers to try and make it a reality. Check out the details here: http://scotland.sicam...)

I agree with Dan Law - this should be more about social enterprise and less about web dev! Yes, they're linked . . . but what is the primary focus?

christopheExcellent place to brainstorm the future with creative people. Great workshop facilitation by the organizers.

Tom de Grunwald3 or 4 of the ideas could have become one really strong idea with a bit more time and focus

Dan LawWould be great to have similiar but where focus is not so much on web tech - i.e. put people working on social projects with experts - accountants, business mentors, academics, policy makers, legal advisers etc. i.e. about the social enterprise rather than webdev. However overall great - just to meet with others with overlapping interests.

Recession is most certainly an opportunity for innovation. New ideas get people excited and starts economy moving. There is a lot of money out there ready to be invested in amazing ideas, we just have to make sure that the ideas are sound and worth it. Give it the best we have got!
