Last week when I was in San Francisco, I skyped into the I of North Fundraising Conference where I did an afternoon session with Steve Bridger. We have a conversation with the audience about the opportunities and challenges of using social media as part of your fundraising tool box.
I wish I could have gone in person because there are a number of folks I'd love to meet face-to-face including Chris Garrett, Jonathan Waddingham of Justgiving, Alex Goldstein and Jacqui Darlow from Dog's Trust, and Howard Lake. And, of course, conference organizer, Graham Richards.
Howard Lake has documented the conference and posted the presentations, notes, photos, and videos. It's worth checking out. The hash tag #iofnorth will take you to the other knowledge shared at the conference.
That is one of the best presentations on social media I have ever seen. That is perfect.

Hi Beth,
All of the presentations from the conference have now been posted onto various SlideShare accounts. If anyone would like to get the links for them, please Tweet me on Twitter and let me know. My Twitter address is: @GrahamRichards
We're hoping to get MP3 files of all the speaker's presentations online in the next week as well.
This has to be one of the most socially networked events in the UK for charities. It's been great to see how many ways we were able to share the learning both during and after the event.
I'm now offering a local Tweetup type activity to follow up the day with any local participants who want to take things further. Watch this space!
Cheers
Graham

Beth - great that the tech just about held up & the conference participants were all able to listen to the nuggets you so generously shared (at 6 in the morning!)
Thanks for embedding my presentation here. It was great fun to do!
Hope to see you over here - or at some event in the US sometime in the not-to-distant future.
Tara - thank you. Thank you.

The presentation here stood out in my mind because of the powerful graphics. Very well done.
Thanks for posting it.
