MobileActive08: Where Mobile Technology and Social Impact Converge
MobileActive08 offers a rare opportunity to reach a unique audience of over 300 highly engaged, influential people working at the leading edge of social change. We bring together an international community of visionary practitioners and innovators, working across multiple disciplines and issues, using mobile technology for good.
MobileActive08 is the only global gathering that is connecting leaders who are working at the convergence of civil society, mobile technology, and social change. MobileActive is an exceptional environment for learning, engagement, and innovation across multiple disciplines and issue areas. We convene a community of visionary practitioners and innovators who use mobile technology for good.
- Designed to Strengthen the Global Civil Society Movement: The first and only event to connect the mobile revolution worldwide with civil society innovations. We facilitate the conversations, partnerships, and growth opportunities that strengthen individuals and organizations.
- Effective and Transformational: Participants return to their work inspired, with powerful leadership training as well as technical skills, an expanded network, and hope for
the future. - Leaders of Innovation and Change: MobileActive participants showcase how new mobile tools and strategies are applied to real organizations and real problems, changing
the way we think about social good. - Efficiently Managed: Managed by a team of high-capacity staff at SANGONet and MobileActive.org, the majority of all funds raised go directly to subsidize participation by non-profits and emerging leaders from around the world.
