What to Expect from the 2012 Social Good Summit

"Is undeniable that digital philanthropy is growing. The trick is how to connect the givers with the projects." 

The Bluebird Patch

On September 22-24 philanthropists, activists, global leaders, bloggers, and techies are coming together to discuss how the use of technology and digital media can make the world a better place. 

This year’s Social Good Summit will be more engaging than ever. People from around the world, in both the developed and the developing world, will unite in person and online to participate in The Global Conversation – the world’s largest conversation on how technology can grow communities and improve life for all of us as we move toward being a networked society.

The 2012 Social Good Summit is brought to you by Mashable, 92nd Street Y, the United Nations Foundation, Ericsson, the United Nations Development Programme, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
