Shortly after our Mashable Media Summit, we announced the Mashable & 92Y Social Good Summit in Partnership with the United Nations Foundation. At the start of UN Week on Monday, September 20, Mashable will be hosting a half-day conference at the 92nd Street Y. We’d love to know who you think should be presenting at the event and welcome open suggestions in the comments.
Mashable and 92Y present a summit of the most inspirational, promising and effective ways in which new media can help address the world’s challenges. As the world’s attention turns to New York for UN Week, this Summit showcases and celebrates the power and potential of new media and innovative ideas. The Social Good Summit 2010 focuses on raising awareness and finding solutions to the 8 Millennium Development Goals and coincides with the historic 2010 MDG Summit.
Goals of the Summit include:
- Raise awareness for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
- Discover and encourage solutions for the MDGs
- Create opportunities for public engagement
- Showcase solutions and innovative approaches
Confirmed agenda includes:
- Ted Turner, chairman of Turner Enterprises, Inc. in an interview by Pete Cashmore, CEO of Mashable
- Susan Smith Ellis, CEO of (RED)
Further details and speaker announcements to be released shortly.
We always welcome feedback early from our readers and would love to hear your suggestions for a company or person (whether you are connected to them or not) who you feel represent Social Good and are providing innovative solutions through the power of new media and technology.
