Sponsors
Blackbaud
We’re very pleased to announce that Blackbaud will be the main sponsor for #BeGoodBeSocial April 2011. You’ve probably all heard of Raiser’s Edge but there’s a whole lot more to Blackbaud. As the leading global provider of software and related services designed specifically for not-for-profit organisations, Blackbaud has achieved success [...]
Third Sector Lab
Third Sector Lab will once again be sponsoring Be Good Be Social, as lead organiser of the April 2011 event. We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make Be Good Be Social happen, with support from a great sounding board of talented folks. It was always going to be hard to top the first [...]

You might not have been able to figure out the next Be Good Be Social venue from the photograph on the homepage slider but the logo above is a less subtle hint. I spent a while looking at suitable venues – as well as being an inspiring space I [...]

Be Good Be Social as you know it returns on 17th May 2012 6-9pm at Big Lottery Scotland HQ in Glasgow. We’ve got three great speakers lined up and, for the first time, a panel Q&A session.
We’ve always taken on board feedback from Be Good Be Social attendees – we crowdsource all the speakers and we ask your opinions on how we should structure the evening. We had tons of feedback asking for more practical hands-on social media training so I’ve put together a workshop programme in partnership with GCVS.
As well as the requests for training lots of people seem to like the idea of an all-day event, encompassing both inspiring talks and practical workshops. As luck would have it we were approached by GCVS recently to help them put together a digital media event and Social Media for Social Good was born.
Social Media for Social Good (still a working title) will take place all day on 26th April 2012 at The Albany Learning and Conference Centre, Glasgow. The event itself will be packed with amazing talks and a selection of practical workshops, encompassing topics such as video for the web, better blogging, facebook and twitter tips , social media strategy, online fundraising and more. We’re keen to keep the conference affordable so tickets will be under £100 – they’re going to be available via the GCVS website from 1st March onwards. We’ll let you know the full speaker and workshop line-up soon.
Don’t worry, Be Good Be Social as you know it will continue to run bi-annually but if our all-day event is a success we may continue to run these as well. Watch this space!
