SocialButterfly

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. Social change 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.
