Join Owen Charters of CanadaHelps for an afternoon of social media training.  Learn about some of the Web 2.0 tools that everyone is talking about and the fundamentals of a great website.  We’ll tell you what’s easy, what’s challenging, what you can try for free, and what might not be worth your time.

The web conference consists of 2 workshops to help you get acquainted with online philanthropy:

• Philanthropy 2.0 – Web 2.0?  What's Web 1.0?  Learn about the difference as well as the basics on some of the more common social media tools being used including, Facebook, blogs, YouTube, Twitter and CanadaHelps Giving Pages.  Find out how other charities are taking advantage of these tools and how yours can too!
• Websites 101 – Your website is one of the most important communication vehicles you have - is it working for your organization the way it should?  Take your website from good to great by learning the fundamentals of what makes for a really good website, one that is user-friendly, attractive and drives up online donations.

Please join us for these timely and valuable workshops. Light refreshments will be served.
