Founded in August 2010 by Ross McCulloch of Third Sector Lab, Be Good Be Social brings together third sector professionals interested in social media for social good. The events are a chance to learn, debate and connect with others working for non-profits, charities and social enterprises. Unlike traditional conferences Be Good Be Social combines networking, inspirational talks, practical workshops and, importantly, the chance to collaborate in a relaxed, friendly environment. Attendees hear real-life case studies, ground breaking new ideas and hands-on solutions.
Be Good Be Social returns to Scotland in November 2011, with sister events planned in Toronto, Manchester and Amsterdam. But before things go all global Be Good Be Social is back for special one-off social media surgery as part of Social Media Week Glasgow. Be Good Be Social – The Surgery is a chance for charities, social entrepreneurs, community groups and other third sector orgs to discuss their social media woes with a social media surgeon.
You can come along to get help with pretty much any aspect of social media that’s baffling you:
- The practicalities of where to start with social media.
- The benefits of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, blogging and beyond for third sector organisations.
- The risks involved in your organisation’s social media presence.
- Strategies for effectively engaging with supporters, donors and partners.
- How you can measure your social media success.
Be Good Be Social – The Surgery takes place on Wed 21st Sept at Big Lottery Scotland HQ – we’ll have three sessions throughout the day(8am-10am, 12pm-2pm and 5pm-7pm) with charities getting a 30 minute slot with a surgeon.
Tickets and more info for Be Good Be Social – The Surgery are available exclusively via the Social Media Week Glasgow website.
