Previous Organizer's Summits

Northeast Organizers Summit

• When: Friday, June 6th, 2014
• Where: Tidmarsh Farm in Plymouth, Massachusetts

The day before the Northeast Barnraising, the Organizers Summit is set aside as a time to share ideas, brainstorm projects and share strategies. The agenda is open and contributions to it can be made on the "talk" page of this wiki. Ideas include:

- How do we share information and manage projects?

- How do we support new organizers and grow our chapters?

- What does Public Lab teamwork look like?

- What are meaningful community + technologist interactions?

- What are ways to turn data to action?

Add your thoughts, ideas and talking points to the Talk page! Looking forward to seeing you then!

If you are not able to make it to the Summit in MA, there will be one held later in the summer on the Gulf Coast!
