DESCRIPTION
VolunteerMatch, Change.org, Beaconfire and little m media joined together for this special webinar to ask the question: What's next for social good? SXSW Interactive is many things--parties, breakfast tacos, big ideas--but most of all it is an incredible community of designers, entrepreneurs and technologists who care about the future of the web. As that community has grown, so has the call from nonprofit leaders and socially conscious brands to infuse the SXSW experience with themes of how to harness the power of web technology to make the world a better place. In 2014, the conversation around social good reached new heights both in terms of social media reach and in-person energy. So...what now? How do we turn the social good conversations at SXSW into action and change in the real world? And how do we ensure that the social good conversation continues to be an integral part of the SXSW spirit and programming? A special free webinar on Wednesday, April 9, 2014 tackled these very questions -- and so much more. Whether you attended SXSW or not, check out this all-star lineup from VolunteerMatch, Change.org, Beaconfire and little m media as they explore how we can make the excitement and energy of SXSW a part of our everyday lives. If you care about the growth and impact of social good in your community and beyond, help us answer the question: "What's Next?"TRANSCRIPT
