The 140-Character Mission: Social Media & Entrepreneurship
The question is: Are the two disciplines of 'Social Media' and 'Social Entrepreneurship' friends on Facebook?
Absolutely, we say. The common adjective is no accident. Already Twitter, Facebook, and the rest are revolutionizing the business and marketing of social impact. Every day, it seems, another grassroots effort testifies to these platforms and their ability to spread a message to thousands, even millions. Followers become funders, messages become movements, and social networks beget social change. (They can even help elect a new president.)
A panel of experts and high-impact entrepreneurs will discuss, how does the speed and reach of social media alter the formulas for successful social impact? What happens when marketing evolves from broadcast to conversation, fundraising changes from large donors to e-microdonations, or collaboration moves from sweaty basements to vast social networks?
