On April 22, let’s hack associations!
April 11th, 2010
On April 22 at the True Reformer Building in Washington, DC, we’re going to hack associations. What do I mean? It’s actually very simple:
1. You bring your great idea for how associations can do things differently–smarter, simpler, better.
2. You collaborate with colleagues from across the community to develop your idea further and design ways it can used in associations everywhere.
3. You present your idea to all unconference attendees and the very best ideas, as chosen by the group, will receive one of six $1,000 seed grants to create a prototype or design an experiment to test your idea in the real world.
Like I said, simple.
You’ve got ideas, right? Somewhere bouncing around your brain is a big notion, or even a small one waiting to be made big, that you know could make the critical difference to your organization’s success. But you can’t get anyone in your organization to support it, much less a little money to try it out. Does any of that sound familiar? If so…
NO MORE TALK: Hacking Associations DC Unconference is for you!
I hope you will register right now. Don’t wait. Do it right now. Right. Now.
No more delays. No more excuses. NO MORE TALK. It’s time to take action.
One day. One idea. $1,000. Change your association. Change the association community. Be the change you wish to see in the world.
(Gotta love Gandhi, huh?)
My good buddy, KiKi L’Italien of DelCor, and I will be your hosts for the day. We’ll see you there!
