Catalyzing Change with Communications and ComedyEPIPNational
EPIP spoke with Mik Moore and Miriam Fogelson of Moore + Associates, a cutting-edge communications firm experienced with foundations, nonprofits, political operations and a plethora of well-known public figures. Mik and Miriam led an fascinating 60-minute conversation about how we can all use creative, innovative and strategic communications to achieve our social change goals. They discussed how utilizing and investing in ongoing communications efforts is so important for effective change-making, especially since foundations and nonprofits are navigating an increasingly clamorous landscape. Participants learned about M+A's work in movement building, social impact campaigns and progressive, comedic get-out-the-vote initiatives. They also learned how nonprofits and foundations can use communications and comedy to elevate their message and "be heard above the noise".
Daina Middleton will talk about her book, Marketing in the Participation Age, which discusses how in order for companies to truly connect with customers, they must encourage participation in the entire customer experience – an idea that is at the core of most recent conversations about customer experience. She will also talk about her keynote at The Social Shake-Up on the afternoon of June 9.
Social Media is a moving target for companies. More and more platforms and options arise every day.

Title: Marketing on a shoestring budget
Speakers: Keith Goldberg and Gary Tucker of Thalian Hall
Web and mobile technology have forever changed how we access, consume and share information. With limited budgets and staff, marketers today are stretched thin. As a result, marketers must find creative ways to stretch their budgets, leverage the power of social and mobile, and find new measurable ways to reach new buyers while retaining existing audiences. In this session, we’ll discuss how the web and mobile have changing the marketing playing field. Then, we’ll explore examples of how organizations with limited budgets can get more bang for their buck through community partnerships, social media, content marketing, fostering brand advocates, and more.

Social media fundraising tips for nonprofits participating in giving days. This deck was originally created for GiveLocalAmerica and has been updated regularly (last updated on 1/30/15).
Ironically, there is perhaps nothing people like to discuss more on social than its demise: Facebook’s organic reach for brands is plummeting, millennials are constantly redefining the rules, and ROI is harder to prove than ever. But despite the slippery boundaries and guidelines, these challenges have made social an innovation battleground. With the advent of new and better platforms (like Periscope) and strategies (like real-time marketing), social will continue to be a place where everyone from the customer to the CEO has a voice, and that kind of playing field can never be boring.

The CEO is the Only One Who Can Build Your Nonprofit CommunityCharity Dynamics
Discover the transformative role of mission communities in enhancing donor trust, retention, and acquisition. Dive deep into the psychology of donors and understand the crucial connection between community engagement and their trust-building process.
Join our esteemed panel of nonprofit experts: Courtney Bugler, President & CEO of ZERO Prostate Cancer; Katrina VanHuss, Chair & Founder of Turnkey; Otis Fulton, VP Psychological Strategy at Turnkey; Meghan Dankovich, CEO of Charity Dynamics, as they provide invaluable insights on how your nonprofit can effectively leverage the power of communities to foster trust, motivate action, and ensure long-term supporter retention as well as add insight to:
The essential relationship between community engagement and the establishment of trust.
Insights into the self-validation feedback loop and its impact on donor behavior.
Strategies for leveraging communities to drive donor retention and acquisition.
Why the CEO must make the “Community” decision.
Nonprofit supporters seek more than just a cause; they seek a reflection of their identity. In a community, they find individuals who resonate with this shared identity, leading to powerful community engagement. This engagement acts as a flywheel. With each rotation, it intensifies, building trust in the environment, the idea, and most importantly, among its people. Trust is the cornerstone that inspires behavior, whether it’s donating, volunteering, or fundraising. As long as one remains within this validating cycle, retention is assured. And today, communities absolutely require an online element.
Join us for this enlightening session and learn how your nonprofit can effectively harness the power of communities to cultivate trust, inspire action, and retain supporters for the long haul.

Boundless Life: Create a Personalized Space Where Your Mission Comes to LifeCharity Dynamics
Building and strengthening relationships with the people connected to your cause continues to be the tried-and-true path to fundraising success. And in today’s world, the opportunities to connect with supporters (old and new) are increasingly happening online. With the average person spending 4 hours daily on their mobile phone--and 90% of that time in mobile apps—we must meet our supporters where they are. But how do you do that in a personalized, yet easy and seamless way? We have a (new) app for that: Boundless Life™.
Making Corporate Connections: Attracting Sponsors and Driving Value in a Virt...Charity Dynamics
With the pandemic forcing peer-to-peer fundraising events to go virtual, many nonprofits have found it challenging to recruit new corporate sponsors or demonstrate value via hard data to existing ones. But at the same time, the growing trend of corporate social responsibility has corporations more open to sponsorships. So how can nonprofits attract those like-minded corporate sponsors?
Listen in as Charity Dynamics’ Meghan Dankovich and Accelerist’s Brittany Hill discuss how nonprofits can best prove their value to corporations in what remains a largely virtual event world. They’ll look at ways to evaluate your donors to glean key demographic data that can help you match your mission to a corporation’s social responsibility goals.
They’ll also review several examples of how organizations are getting increasingly creative with technology to provide value to their sponsors — using announcement screens, app logo placement, push notifications, activity challenges, virtual booths, and more.
Highlights from our 2021 Boundless Solutions Product Roadmap webinar include:
• Enhanced activity tracking with Motion 2.0
• Usability enhancements with an updated look & feel
• New features in the Mobile App 7.0 Upgrade
• And even a new module called Boundless Community™!
How to Plan for End-of-Year Fundraising Success in a PandemicCharity Dynamics
Nonprofits have faced one challenge after another this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. As a result, end-of-year fundraising efforts to reach revenue goals are coming into sharper focus and with added pressure. On top of that, this election year will more than likely distract people from contributing fully to EOY campaigns. So what can organizations do, starting now, to maximize their EOY fundraising in this complicated landscape?
Join us as we hear from a panel of nonprofit experts — Adam Blanchard from Dayton Children’s Hospital, Emily Finton from Kennedy Krieger Institute, and Tatiana Marshall from The New York Public Library — about their key takeaways from their fundraising efforts so far and what strategies they are putting in place to ensure EOY success.
How National Kidney Foundation Is Using Activity Tracking to Rebrand Its Nati...Charity Dynamics
With virtual fundraising events here for the foreseeable future, organizations are taking a more strategic approach to creating virtual events that can enhance their peer-to-peer fundraising programs in the long term. One tool proving especially effective in driving participant and donor engagement is activity tracking—and National Kidney Foundation is putting it to the test by putting a virtual spin on its Kidney Walk campaign.
Join National Kidney Foundation’s Deanna van Lear and Charity Dynamics’ Kathy Kempff for a webinar, Thursday, August 27, at 11:30 a.m. CT, as they discuss NKF’s rebranding efforts around its Kidney Walk “Lace Up” campaign. This includes a series of participant challenges centered around fitness tracking designed to encourage all forms of engagement — physical, fundraising, recruitment, etc. — in a virtual environment.
From Physical to Virtual: How to Create Fundraising Success In A Virtual WorldCharity Dynamics
The switch from physical, in-person fundraising events to virtual ones came about swiftly this spring as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As nonprofits scrambled to support the unique needs of the people they serve, they also had to tackle tough decisions around whether to cancel events or pivot them to virtual — or find an altogether different path. Ready or not, they had to act fast.
Watch our on-demand webinar as we talk with three fundraising experts about how they made the shift from in-person to virtual events. Our panelists—from Boston Children’s Hospital, Canadian Cancer Society, and The Parkinson Alliance — discuss the key lessons they learned during this transition, including out-of-the-box event strategies they’ve developed, and how they intend to use those to ensure continued success going forward.
With COVID-19, most nonprofits were thrust into the new and uncertain world of virtual events. But as these organizations turn their attention from these immediately impacted spring events to future programs scheduled for summer and fall, they have the opportunity to flip the switch from “reactive” to “strategic.” And virtual events can even benefit and enhance your peer to peer program in the long-term!
Join us as we introduce our newest product offering — Boundless Motion! Learn how Charity Dynamics is bringing the power of activity tracking to mobile fundraising to create a virtual event experience that can drive donor & fundraiser engagement in the months ahead… and even beyond the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Offer the Sizzle and the Steak, But Make It All About Them: Making ‘Virtual’ ...Charity Dynamics
For nonprofits, one of many pressing concerns arising out of the coronavirus pandemic is how to handle peer-to-peer fundraising events. In-person events are, of course, a no go for the foreseeable future. So, many organizations are looking to virtualize their events.
But how can you create a P2P event experience in the virtual world that will fully engage your fundraisers? And how do you then convince constituents to not only participate, but to fundraise as well? It’s a tricky ask and we really can’t afford to screw it up. Avoid being tone deaf by fully embracing a “you-centric” method of communication that acknowledges where constituents are emotionally and provides an exciting path to meaningful action.
Join Meghan Dankovich from Charity Dynamics and Turnkey’s Otis Fulton and Ryan Grosenick, as they discuss these important questions to help pivot your now virtual P2P programs to maximize fundraising during these uncertain time.
There are no guarantees in our current COVID-19 climate. But there are hints that there are steps you can take to help your program be recession resistant, if not recession-proof.
Join us to discuss what you should be thinking about – and acting upon – to jump-start your fundraising program AND build a stronger foundation for the new normal that awaits us post-pandemic.
Social media is one of the best ways you can show love for your supporters and donors. It’s also key to empowering your supporters to share THEIR love of your organization by donating or sharing your content to help you reach new audiences.
Join us for our continued conversations in how to maximize your efforts during the coronavirus pandemic. We’ll be covering how to leverage tried and true – and new – social channels to support your acquisition, cultivation, fundraising and donor retention efforts at this time. We’ll also address #GivingTuesday Now – Giving Tuesday’s recently announced early May edition of the popular national giving day.
Facebook Fundraising Tools You Can Use to Help Combat COVID-19Charity Dynamics
Given the continuing impact of COVID-19, it is essential that nonprofits use all of the tools at their disposal to continue offering vital services in their communities. That includes adjusting their fundraising efforts to account for major events and campaigns that have been disrupted or canceled.
Listen to our replay from Tuesday, March 31, as Facebook’s North American Nonprofits Manager Kendra Sinclair, American Cancer Society’s Social Media Manager Tatum Barbaree, and Charity Dynamics’ VP of Client Success Meghan Dankovich shared best practice recommendations for fundraising tools nonprofits can and should take advantage during these uncertain times. Some of these tools included:
- Facebook Fundraiser
- Facebook Live
- Facebook Workplace
- American Cancer Society's social fundraising efforts on Facebook
Clever vs Creative: Which Takes the Fundraising Cake?Charity Dynamics
As fundraisers, we face a lot of pressure from colleagues, bosses, and board members to be ‘creative’ and ‘cutting edge’. Who hasn’t heard “Why can’t we be more like CharityWater?” At the same time, you’re expected to hit your aggressive bottom line numbers. Is it possible to do both? In this webinar, you’ll hear from organizations who WERE able to use humor and cutting-edge messaging to achieve fundraising and awareness goals.
Charity Dynamics, Boston Children’s Hospital Trust, and Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation discuss new ways to raise awareness and funds for your organization while still staying true to your brand and relevant to your audience.
The Boundless Fundraising 5.0 Release will be launching soon as here's a sneak peek of what you can expect:
- The expansion of our social sharing options (now to include Snapchat, LinkedIn direct messaging, and WhatsApp)
- The addition of a Facebook Fundraising banner
- And increased functionality and flexibility to manage your fundraising tools from your fingertips

Unlocking Productivity: Leveraging the Potential of Copilot in Microsoft 365, a presentation by Christoforos Vlachos, Senior Solutions Manager – Modern Workplace, Uni Systems
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

“If you can find people in your network whose advocacy
mirrors the work you’re doing to serve your mission, that’s a
pairing worth exploring….Advocacy is at the core of why a
donor contributes to begin with.”

This chart is the backup for the previous slide – spend is up in digital areas, down in others (though it should be said that billions are still being spent in direct mail, print, tv)

Ask the question: What’s the last thing you did on YOUR phone?
"People will be much more likely to reach for their phones to facilitate physical / digital interactions to enhance or extend experiences through mobile. We see the beginning of this already. I use an app for my boarding pass at the airport and NFC (near-field communication) at London bus stops for travel information.
"In galleries I quickly search for the subject of portraits and take photos in museums to share my emotional response to objects with friends and family."

Examples of micro moments – check the weather, send a text, make a reservation on Open Table, post on Facebook, check an online review
Yeah, yeah, we’ve all bought into the fact that mobile matters, but have you embraced “Mobile First?”
I know I still fall into this trap – poring over the desktop version of email designs and only giving a cursory glance @ the mobile version. And I never check the mobile version on my phone – DOH! We need to shift our perspective.
"What some call ‘mobile first’ is in truth already ‘mobile majority’.
***Google Analytics dashboard showing more mobile visitors than desktop***
You’ve been hearing us talk for years about making sure your websites and emails are mobile friendly or better yet responsive.
More and more everyone is going mobile – the oh so coveted Millenials, the often forgotten Gen-Xers, and the STILL important (at least from a donation perspective) 50+ audience
But while it’s mobile first, it’s not mobile only! A recent Pew study stated that 39 out of 50 people used their mobile phones to check NEWS sources. But the 10 people who spent the most time doing in depth reading used a desktop (I have the source for this and need to confirm the numbers)
By 2017 video will account for 69% of consumer traffic.
YouTube alone reported 20 BILLION branded video views for 2015
That’s DOUBLE their lifetime total through 2014
Facebook users watch 100 million hours of video each day.
Snapchat users watch 8 billion videos a day
Can you make the bullets on this slide an infograph?
YouTube alone reported 20 billion branded video views for 2015 (doubling from a lifetime total of 20 billion through 2014). And that’s ignoring Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and a dozen other platforms delivering video content to viewers at rapidly increasing rates.
The great news is that it has never been easier to produce video content. With a smart phone and a laptop, companies can easily produce VLOGs, video event previews, interviews, and video messages. Across the world and in everyone’s backyard are talented video content producers who can produce the highly polished videos for use on your homepage, emails, and social/video ads.

Research indicates that by 2017 video will account for 69% of consumer traffic.
Snapchat users watch 8 billion videos a day. Facebook users watch 100 million hours each day. And YouTube still has more than both of them. John Koetsier Mobile Economist @ TUNE

People are desperate for curated content from sources they trust:
Trust in government & traditional news sources are low
People are more dependent on friends to be “editors” about what information is important
Friends’ opinions impact the products we buy, and the organizations we support
Facebook, Google and other platforms are tweaking their algorithms to prioritize family/friend content over yours

Social media are becoming a news source that rivals other traditional sources
Facebook is as important to political news consumers as local news TV station broadcasts (which for two generations have been the most popular source of news for Americans by a large margin.
Your organization needs to be seen as a reputable source for news
Can we lose this slide – it ruins all the suspense!
This slide will introduce three ways we delve into the Human Touch. By using Social Listening, you can really understand what your constituents are passionate about. What problem are they looking to solve in the world? What problems are they looking to solve in their relationship with your organization? That will lead to better content development and a true relationship with your constituents.
While facebook and google ads, display ads and retargeting will still have a big place in acquisition, changes in Facebook and Google Algorithms dictate that inspiring your current constituents to carry your message will be key to future growth plans.
And finally, when you have those new constituents, offering tangible ways that people can make a difference (in addition to donating of course) will be key to adding value to their lives.

Also means Messaging Apps: “From Facebook’s Mobile Messenger through Facebook’s acquisition of WhatsApp and rebuff by Snapchat to the popularity of apps in non-Western markets like WeChat, there is a continued and growing wish for consumers to communicate directly outside of public social network pages. This is really the last frontier for social media monetisation, so we can expect to see some major changes here in 2017 with new options for paid media on messaging apps, although this will be limited since the app owners have committed in the past to keeping messaging ad free.”

On World AIDS Day last December, Snapchat partnered with its first non-profit, (RED) by distributing three free filters that could be used by Snapchat users on this individual day. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation pledged to donate $3 for every time that it was used, stating that this campaign would raise up to $3 million in a single day. Millennials love social media and millennials love to make positive contributions to the world and this Snapchat (RED) campaign allowed them to do just that.
