The Future Of Online Campaigning
We don’t frequently pitch conferences and panel discussions, but here’s one sponsored by Convio that features some folks who we think really know what they’re talking about.
It’s at the National Press Club in Washington this week (May 21 at 9:30am EDT), and available via webcast.
Title: How the Internet Is Changing Philanthropy, Advocacy and Politics.
Panelists from Facebook, Rock the Vote, Echo Ditto, the campaign world, American Cancer Society … quite a spectrum.
I’m hoping it will be archived for you late readers of this post!

Interesting question. I had a quick look at the testing done on this topic. On the positive side, in all cases, over half of donors decide to cover the fee. In some cases, it goes as high as 65%. Not a negligible percentage at all. Here’s another test from iRaiser showing consistent results (see point […]

There’s just one thing to consider when designing a supporter journey: the supporter. More specifically, you need to take into account: Who the supporter is i.e. their identity, which is the reason they support this cause, and their personality, which describes the way they “see” and process the world. These will determine the kind of […]

I’m not an expert in this but a quick search surfaced this article on the effect of tax reforms on 2019’s charitable giving. The researchers didn’t find a reduction. Actually, they observed an “increase in charitable contributions in 2019, even with the lower tax rates and the dramatically smaller number of taxpayers who itemize their […]

Tom, the panel will most certainly be archived for an additional 3 months. So worry not if you are reading this post after the live date!
And thanks for helping spread the word about what we think will be a very informative and interesting collaboration of thoughts and wisdom from some of the best and brightest in their spaces.
Tom, thanks for sharing, we’re excited about the panel. The event will be archived at http://www.visualwebcaster.com/converging and http://www.convio.com/converging
We’re also hoping to create some on-going dialogue and discussion about the event and topics in the blog-o-sphere. Given the number of different topics – technology, philanthrophy, advocacy, and yes, politics, it could get fun!
Thanks again for sharing the information with your readers.
Tad Druart, Director of Communications, Convio
