NetSquared Camp has been rockin’ the Vancouver media world lately, thanks to Cecilia Lu, the Networking Ninja at Kiwano Marketing. With only one week left to launch of the first NetSquared Camp in Canada, Cecilia’s been busy coordinating media sponsors, writing articles, and tweeting up a storm about #n2camp.
Yesterday, the Ninja interviewed fellow organizer Eli van der Giessen to find out what’s so special about NetSquared Camp and why YOU should attend! Here’s a highlight:
How is NetSquared different from all the other events, unconferences, camps out there?
NetSquared Camp is unique from other technology and social media conferences because:
1. It is focused on serving the needs of nonprofits and social entrepreneurs.
2. It is focused on practical skill-building experiences led by peers in the sector.Do I have to be a techie/non-profit?
Nope! NetSquared Camp is gathering together the tribe who want to support Vancouver non-profits. That includes marketers, writers, graphic designers, video producers, strategists, fundraisers, and strategists. NetSquared focuses on how technology can be used to deliver these various skills, but there’s no requirement that participants be a techie. (Designers, writers, and marketers produce work that is equally valuable no matter the medium.)

What will I get out of this?
Net Tuesday meetups are over too quickly! I have to cut off fascinating conversations all the time. And what about those times when a presenter shows you something incredible, but you want to have the chance to try it out yourself with a bit of instruction? Sorry, there’s no time! That’s why NetSquared Camp will be an all-day unconference-style event with a focus on hands-on learning from Vancouver’s generous and ridiculously talented non-profit sector and its allies. Come join the community and get the chance to connect with peers who share your skills and values. Feel like you’re a lone voice in the wilderness at your organization? Then join us on August 14th!
