The document advertises an upcoming Barcamp Nonprofits event and provides information about past events. Barcamp Nonprofits are informal conferences that allow participants to share ideas in a collaborative environment. The organizers are seeking sponsors to help cover venue costs and provide goodie bags in exchange for promotion and tickets to the event. Interested sponsors can choose between leading, individual, and media sponsorship levels starting at £100.

Barcamp Nonprofits!

2. Why Barcamp Nonprofits?
During the Institute of Fundraising National Convention 2010 Howard Lake,
Steve Bridger and Sylwia Presley shared their insights on the current state of
social media for 3rd sector in the UK. It became apparent that there is a huge
gap between developments in social media and ways nonprofits adapt new
technologies in their activities. So they decided to organise a barcamp!

3. Why barcamp?
Barcamp, or ‘un-conference’ is a great, tested format for events aiming to
bring people together around various topics in very informal, supportive
and collaborative environment.

4. What is a barcamp?
“Barcamp is an ad-hoc unconference born from the desire for people to
share and learn in an open environment” (http://barcamp.org/)
Barcamp allows everyone to contribute, network and promote their ideas.
