TechSoup Global Contributors’ Summit 2011

 
The TechSoup Global Contributors’ Summit, took place on the 15th - 16th February 2011 at Microsoft’s Silicon Valley campus. Representatives of TechSoup Global's networks and other affinity groups (funders, corporate donors, social media experts, capacity-building organizations, and other social change technologists) participated in two days of provoking discussion about how these networks, and the capabilities that power them, can be effectively leveraged to create greater impact. The 240 participants focused on welding together product donations, data services and human capacity to help build truly resilient civil society, both in the wake of a disaster like Haiti’s and in the developing (as well as the developed) countries of the world.
