On June 3, Philly Net Tuesday will feature our signature “Crowdsourcing Change” format. Here’s how it works: Two or three local nonprofits share how they’re using online marketing and social media/networking to achieve their goals and objectives. Then the crowd (that’s you!) participates in a facilitated discussion about how each organization might use the social web to even greater effect.

We are still in the process of selecting the local organizations eager to receive the wisdom of the crowd. If your organization would like to apply to participate in this fun and (hopefully) useful process, please fill in the form at http://tinyurl.com/phlnet2-crowd).

Info about the participating organizations will be coming out shortly.

The event will be held at the Friends Center, 1501 Cherry Street. Doors open at 6:00 PM on the evening of Tuesday, June 3. Light fare will be available, and RSVP’s are appreciated for planning, but not required. Whether you’re a social media expert or an interested citizen your perspectives and opinions are welcome and valuable. So, come and join the crowd with your questions, insights and reactions, and help these local organizations more effectively use social tools to achieve their important objectives. This is a great learning and sharing opportunity – not only for the presenting organizations, but for all participants!
