'Connecting Up' Conference Looking Towards 2008

Connecting Up, the national conference focused on the use of information and communications technologies in charity and Not for Profit settings is calling for expressions of interest from presenters.

Now in its fifth big year the conference will take place on Monday May 12 and Tuesday May 13, 2008 in Brisbane at a venue still to be announced.

Community Information Strategies Australia (CISA) Inc CEO, Doug Jacquier says final negotiations are in progress with some world-leading international guests in NFP technology strategies, including the undisputed ‘queen’ of the US Not for Profit technology scene, Beth Kanter and Zack Rosen, former web developer for US Presidential candidate Howard Dean, co-founder of the open source and social change pioneer, CivicSpace, and now with Chapter Three.

But Jacquier says this conference is essentially about the NFP technology capacity here in Australia with the emphasis on sharing stories, experiences, successes, applications and technologies with other delegates from all over Australia.
