Social Tech

Just a quick note to mention that Amnesty International Australia are hiring – from the AIA team:

AIA is recruiting! We’re looking for an experienced, energetic digital marketing professional to help us with our ambitious growth objectives. The role is responsible for designing and implementing online initiatives to recruit, retain and mobilise supporters. They need to be a whizz at copywriting, e-comms, design optimisation, SEM, SEO and social media — plus a bit of a data geek.

More information about the position is on the AIA site.

P.S. yes, we’ve been quiet this year – we’re chatting about what’s next, and will post here once we know more…

I’ve been remiss in not posting the announcement to the blog also, but the next Sydney meetup is tonight at the usual location:

The Rose Hotel, Chippendale
52-54 Cleveland St (cnr Cleveland and Shepherd)
Chippendale, Sydney

In addition to our usual chit-chat and catchup, Seb Cumberbirch from Amnesty will talk about their recent Butterflies of Hope campaign.

He will provide an informal insight into how the campaign about, the challenges they faced and “a smattering of stats” in Seb’s words – a great launching pad for further discussion.

For Facebook peeps, there’s an event set up with details (and RSVP).

Unfortunately we weren’t able to arrange a meetup in July, but we’re ready to go again for August – next Tuesday in fact. It’ll be great to catch up and compare notes on what’s been happening in social tech over the past few months.

Tues 11 Aug, 6pm-8pm
The Rose Hotel, Chippendale
52-54 Cleveland St (cnr Cleveland and Shepherd)
Chippendale, Sydney

We’ll also discuss the NetTuesday initiative and the potential for changing venues to something more convenient for folks. See you there

Just a reminder that our next Sydney meetup is tomorrow night. Details

We’ve been remiss in not mentioning the Connecting Up conference happening next week 11-12 May in Sydney.

From the website:

his conference series brings experts and peers from around the world to talk about how nonprofits can use technology to effect change and reach their audiences.

Tickets are AUD$395 for non-profits – check out the program if you’re interested. A few Social Tech folks are already attending and/or presenting…

Just a reminder that, as previously mentioned, the meetup is next week, not tonight.
