Let’s collaborate
August 12, 2008
The changes here at work have meant that I’ve joined up with the lovely people in collaborative working and from the first minute I started to inflict inspire them with the potential of ICT.
The third annual collaborative working conference is happening on the 22nd October and I’m keen as mustard to enable people before, during and after to engage with it.
One of the sessions at the conference, lead by Michelle McMahon @ Ammado, will explore the new relationships and new engagement made possible between organisations and individuals using interactive Web 2.0 technologies.
Inspired by the successful use of technology at Ruralnet conferences to facilitate collaboration and networking , I’ve set up a twitter feed for the conference @NCVOcollaborate and will also try and blog it as it happens. I always wanted to blog the ICT Hub events as it makes a really useful record of the day but organising events and then blogging them was just too much for me to handle.
The great thing about these tools is that they’re free to use, they just need someone to set them up and promote them to your networks / delegates.
Beth Kanter does a useful roundup about Twitter if you want to find out more.
You can book on to the conference at www.ncvo-vol.org.uk/collab08 but in the meantime, make sure you follow @NCVOcollaborate.

Yes that’s a real shame as I know lots of people who regularly contribute to the ICT discussion via text.
If you’re lucky enough to have a snazzier phone than mine, you can still use the web applications such as Twitterific (for iPhones)and TwitterMail to send in your tweets.
