Update: Web of Change 2007 was our biggest and most diverse conference yet – thanks to all who donated to our scholarship fund! We're keeping this fund open to continue fundraising year-round. Any donations made will go directly to scholarships for the 2008 event.

Web of Change is an annual gathering connecting senior leaders working at the convergence of online strategy, technology, and social change. Held every fall at Hollyhock Centre on Cortes Island, British Columbia, Web of Change offers an exceptional environment for learning, engagement, and reflection.

2007 marked our 7th conference. Every year, we convene a broad spectrum of progressive organizations who don’t naturally gather or cross-pollinate, weaving diverse voices, cultures, and worldviews right into the program design. Our participants come from across the US, Canada, and around the world.

Unfortunately, the location of Web of Change – an integral part of what makes it so powerful and so different from other conferences – also poses a barrier to accessibility for some potential participants. The cost of traveling to the island, and staying at Hollyhock, can be prohibitive, particularly for people working for small not-for-profit organizations, or people traveling from far away.

We believe strongly that it is important that Web of Change offer a more inclusive environment than many of the other tech conferences out there. It is not useful for a privileged few to determine the best ways to use technology to bring about lasting social change – this is a conversation that needs to include as wide a range of voices as possible.

To that end, we do our best to reduce the barriers to attendance. Web of Change is managed for no fee by Communicopia and ONE/Northwest, and every year, we actively fundraise in order to subsidize attendance for around 40% of all attendees through scholarships. Two years ago, a group of alumni gathered together to create a Diversity Fund, collecting donations from other alumni who wanted to help bring new voices to Web of Change. This year, we want to continue that initiative here at Give Meaning.

To bring about lasting, systemic change in the world will requires more than just the right technology, and more than just empassioned people. Web of Change brings together people working on the front lines of real change. Please help us to make sure that the best and brightest people can afford to attend this unique conference!
