Digital Atlanta 2011

If you’re planning to be in Atlanta between November 7 – 11, mark your calendars for Digital Atlanta, an all-volunteer conference for people who use and appreciate social media, the digital universe, and consumer technology.

Attendees of the conference will get together at dozens of events all over town. There will be plenty of opportunities to learn from great speakers, meet new people, and have some fun. Best of all, it’s a great reason to sneak out of the office and explore Atlanta.

Last year this event was called Social Media Atlanta, and I had the opportunity to co-host #DigitiniATL and to guide a round-table discussion during Non-Profit Day. This year, I’ll be presenting at the Nonprofit Digital Strategy Forum. I’m thrilled to have Blake Canterbury (Founder and C.E.O. of BeRemedy) and Dantes Rameau (Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Atlanta Music Project) joining my discussion table.

BeRemedy uses  social media to connect those in need with those in their community who can help. The Atlanta Music Project, is a 5-day-a-week, after-school, youth orchestra and choir program targeting underserved communities in metropolitan Atlanta. Blake and Dantes have both used social media in innovative ways  to raise funds, build communities and create change. We’ll be sharing tips and tools for using social media for social good.
