Events

What if people–across sectors–and across industries–were talking about ways to do good. If we can integrate ourselves in those events and discussions, then I think that is a victory. For social marketing and doing good is not limited to one group or one organization–it takes all. If you get to talking with someone, generally, people have in common the desire to do good. For example, check out this call for a Humanitarian Lion at the Cannes Festival.

One of my words for 2010 is connect. Below, please find a listing of interesting conferences, events, observances and programs to keep you up to date in the world of social marketing and related areas of social change, non-profits, and doing good.

This page is in development and will be updated as the year goes on. To submit an event, email socialbutterfly4change@gmail.com.
