Tomorrow evening kicks off SoCon09, a social media “unconference” being hosted at Kennesaw State University for it’s third year. The gathering consists of a dinner Friday night with eight tables each focused around discussion topics such as podcasting, social media in education and web publishing. It resumes early Saturday morning with a bit of breakfast before kicking into a full day of social media discussions.

I will be moderating a discussion on Saturday called “Social Media For Social Change.” Social media can offer a very efficient way of using the tools you already have or can adopt for no cost beyond manpower to change the world. It has broken down walls and created conversations. How can we use these capabilities for the better of our communities? How can we encourage more support, fundraising, and information distribution for non-profits?
