Pre Meeting Anyone?
Over the past few years, participants have kept wanting to organise pre-meetings but no-one ever seems to have the time to make it happen. This year, I'm willing to help make it happen if you can get interest from others you want to attend. A pre-meeting is a great way to make the eCampaigning Forum even more valuable: not only do you learn from peers from diverse organisations, you can make it even more useful by sharing with peers you may work with (or work in the same environment).
This year, I have reserved some space at the venue for one or more groups to hold a pre-meeting on 8-9 April. This is likely of interest to you if have peers that you rarely get together with and:
- You are part of an organisation with offices around the world (e.g. Oxfam , Greenpeace, FoI, Amnesty, WWF, World Vision)
- You are part of a coalition or network with members around the world (e.g. GCAP, faith based groups, development / envio / human rights organisations)
- A sub-group of those attending have something in common they can work on together(e.g. operate in Asia, similar model like GetUp, Avaaz and MoveOn, Spanish or French speakers)
If you think people from you organisation, coalition, network or another grouping would be interested in holding a 1-2 day pre-meeting, let me know:
- That you are interested
- How many people you'd expect to bring
- If you want me to find you an event organiser-facilitator to hire to organise and run the event (I will first got to freelancers who have attended past e-campaigning forum events)
Also - if you are a 'freelancer' and wish to pull together a pre-meeting with others in your network who would attend the e-Campaigning Forum - let me know.
There is currently accommodation for 20 people reserved and I could likely expand this depending on demand.
