Reclaim the Web: One day of open conversations and presentations on using social media for activism and social change. 10am–5pm, £free (limited tickets so please register you place)
There will be talks about how things like video blogging, twitter and social networking can be used by activists and campaigners. The last two similar events attracted a mix of people from very big campaigning organisations, very small campaigning organisations, students, geeks, artists and banjo players.
Speakers confirmed so far:
Jay Dedmand and Ryanne Hodson (RyanIsHungry) - Community videoblogging
(Live video link-up from Americaland!)
Mark Boyle (the freeconomy community) - Using the internet to rebuild community
Rob Purdie (important projects) - RSS for activists
Josef Davies-Coates (united diversity) - Social networking for social change
Beth Tilston (guerrilla tv) - Guerrilla TV & video for activists
Chris Anderson (turnfront) - Robot graffiti artists, web mashups and other examples of activist tech
Bring some food. Everyone brings a dish (something vegan) and everybody shares the feast.
