Events: Social Good Summit - Building the Global Conversation Nairobi

Social Good Summit Poster
The Social Good Summit has mainly been occuring in the developed world BUT this year it is being staged in Africa. This is a desire by the organisers to make this conversation truly global and partly I guess as a result of the changing times we live in [a multi-polar world]. 
Social Good Summit 2012 
The Summit expects to bring together social activists, development workers, forward-thinking technologists, young entrepreneurs and the wider public to share ideas on how to tackle global development problems using technology and social media.

About the Social Good Summit
The Social Good Summit is a three-day conference where big ideas meet new media to create innovative solutions. Held during UN Week, the Social Good Summit unites a dynamic community of global leaders to discuss a big idea: the power of innovative thinking and technology to solve our greatest challenges. This September, we want YOU to join the conversation with leaders and citizens from around the globe. The most innovative technologists, influential minds and passionate activists will come together with one shared goal: to unlock the potential of new media and technology to make the world a better place, and then to translate that potential into action
