2013: Rich Millington (FeverBee) - How to Master and Manipulate Social Scienc...swarm conference
If you look at discussions about communities, you will usually see a discussion rooted in technology. What platform is best? What features should a platform contain? How will Facebook’s new feature affect communities?
These are the wrong questions. Technology has a limited impact upon the success of a community. If you want a thriving community, it’s not technology you need to master – it’s social sciences. If you can master social sciences, you can manipulate basic principles to build any number of successful communities. You can use proven sociological, psychological, and, sometimes, anthropological triggers to influence members to join, participate, and do almost anything you want in a community.
This talk will explain how you can do that. It will break down a few proven principles from social sciences and showcase how we (and others) have applied them to build thriving communities.
LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network with over 100 million members and growing rapidly. LinkedIn connects you to your trusted contacts and helps you exchange knowledge, ideas, and opportunities with a broader network of professionals.
Join us for this webinar and learn how your organization can make the most of LinkedIn. We'll go over the basics, offer you some ideas, and go over some real examples of how nonprofits are using LinkedIn.
This is the final event in the "Building Networks for Resilience" learning experience. The “Building Networks for Resilience” learning experience focused on using elements of the Working Out Loud process, positive psychology, behavioral science and more to build social support networks to improve our resilience.
What better way to illustrate how social media can drive social change than through case studies? This webinar will show you five amazing examples from non-profit organizations to spark some ideas for your organization!

5 Steps to Building Engaged Facebook CommunitiesAlbert Qian

501 Tech NYC: Crafting a Nonprofit Video Strategy (July 2010)See3 Communications
Michael Hoffman was joined by our client Sara Fusco of Refugees International to discuss nonprofit video strategy at the July 501 Tech NYC meet up at Planned Parenthood.
Below is a description of what we'll be covering:
"Organizations using online video effectively aren't just creating great content, they're creating great strategies. It all starts with understanding why video matters to your organization and rethinking what "viral" really means. We’ll talk about how to integrate video into your communications plan, how to staff and develop videos, and how to think about distribution. Bring your questions and walk away with examples of how nonprofits are using video to extend their programs and events online, to increase brand recognition, and to create valuable content for its supporters."
