Arts marketers, there are a bunch of great events happening this week. I, unfortunately, can attend ANY! I’m teaching on Tuesday and Thursday evening, and Saturday, I’ll be out of town, so you won’t see me there. Please take a moment to feel sad for me.
But you’ll be here, right? You can go. And you should!

How do these social web tools relate to social change?
Come to participate in a highly interactive and dynamic event to address this question. We'll also generate ideas for future Net Tuesday gatherings. And we'll think of ways for those of us in the Philly area who resonate with these ideas to find, support and inspire one another.
- Are you experienced in using these tools? Great. Bring your perspective and examples.
- Are you inexperienced with these tools, but curious? Great. Bring your perspective, questions and ambitions.
- Are you a non-profit or social change activist? Find out how some of these tools might help you realize your mission.
- Are you a techie? Discover how nonprofits, fellow techies and others think about using these tools to make a difference in the world.
- Are you a visionary or career changer? See if you can find some opportunities and gaps that need to be filled.
RSVPs via our Meetup Page are helpful, but not required. You can RSVP here.
Questions, contact philly@net2tuesday.org.
If you're not in the Philadelphia area, find a Net Tuesday meetup near you.
