What to expect at a Social Innovation Meetup:

This month we have partnered with Bettr and given our meetup an education theme. We're interested in how we can use the web to re-organise education. Delib have kindly sponsored this meetup.

1.) Sign up

Let us know you’re coming by signing up on Meetup.com. We’re after a great mix of geeks, social innovators and entrepreneurs. When you sign up to come, please tell us if you’re a ‘geek’ or a ‘social innovators/entrepreneur’ - or just tell us what you’re good at and what you’re interested in. This helps us make the evening tick.

2.) Warm up

Doors will be open from 6.30pm for you to check out the space, grab a drink – for free - and have a chat before the evening gets going.

3.) Kick off with a Show and Tell

Things get going at 7.00pm sharp with some Show and Tell presentations. Each month we’ll be hearing from two or three people who have something interesting to share or are already working on a web-based tool to create social change and are either looking for a hand to get their idea off the ground or have some wisdom to share with others. Absolute minimal demo slides and zero-tolerance on waffle - no more than 10 minutes each and no questions from the audience – save those for later.

4.) Get talking and help out

So by 7.30pm, you’ll have heard the presenters Show and Tell. They’ll either have asked for your help, or they’ll be offering their wisdom. And then it’s your chance to have a really good chat. Go talk to the people who interested you the most.

5.) Take over

So that’s pretty much it from the organisers - have a drink, a chat and enjoy the rest of the evening.

6.) Relive it online

Doors will close up once everybody’s gone home, but we’ll be recording the evening in a variety of ways so you can relive it – should you so wish – the next day, or you can check out what you missed if you couldn’t make it.
