Who it's for
This is a conference pitched at an introductory level. If you've ever wondered how the web could be better used by your organisation; or know what a blog is, but not how it could be useful; or are a little nervous about opening a Facebook account, then this is a conference for you. If you think the internet is for geeks, or young people, or those with nothing better to do with their time, then this is a conference for you. And if you want to move beyond using email and having a simple website, then this is a conference for you.
It's also a conference aimed squarely and unapologetically at the community sector. At those voluntary and non-profit organisations working at the grass-roots level. We know that you're stretched and busy and over-worked. We know that you may even be thinking, "There's no way I can spare a day going to a conference! I've got too much going on right now." But we also know that it's vitally important for organisations like yours to engage with the web and to engage with those members of the community growing up online.
The Engage Your Community conference that will give you an introduction and lead you to the next step. If you can use email and navigate your way around a website, then you've got all the technical knowledge you'll need to get something from the conference. If you're at a more advanced level, there's still bound to be something you'll pick up, plus there'll be opportunities to share knowledge and experiences with those in similar situations.
We look forward to welcoming you to Engage Your Community - Thursday 4 September, Massey University, Wellington.
