I've recently been invited to a couple of convention type things around volunteering, which look quite interesting so I thought I'd share them here in case any of you were interested. Unfortunately in both cases the locations and dates don't really work for me or I probably would've gone along.
- National Volunteering Convention: This is about social networks, speed dating, street teams, viral marketing, social entrepreneurship… and what these have to do with volunteering. It's being held on the 23-25 April 2008 in Newcastle by the Red Foundation. For more information or to book your place here's the link www.volunteering.org.uk/convention
- Idealist.org Global Volunteering Fair: Learn more about opportunities for international volunteering in Boston on Saturday, April 12th, which is err tomorrow! The workshops look interesting through. More info at www.idealist.org/globalvolunteering
