Event Details
This month’s event focuses on social media and non-profits. We’re very lucky and thrilled to present a speaker that knows these two topics about as well as anyone in the country (maybe even the world) – Geoff Livingston.
Perhaps you have seen the #citizengulf tweets, or one of the blog posts about the oil spill and how it has ravaged the fishing families of the region.
About Geoff Livingston
Geoff Livingston co-founded Zoetica, a social enterprise that provides superior communication consulting, training, and strategy to help mindful organizations affect social change. He has worked as a public relations strategist in the Washington, D.C. region for more than 16 years.
Dubbed a “local blogging guru” by the Washington Post, Geoff’s award-winning book on new media “Now is Gone” was released in 2007. The book has been cited by the Wall Street Journal as a valuable resource for social media. He continues to blog about nonprofit use of social media for Mashable, and on environmental issuesfor Live Earth.
He sold his social media boutique Livingston Communications to CRT/tanaka in April of 2009. Some of his professional experiences include United Way of America, Save Darfur, the Goodwill of Greater Washington, Environmental Defense Fund, Live Earth, ChildFund International, the Campus Kitchens Project, the Philanthropy2.0 Project, Network Solutions, Sully Erna (Godsmack lead singer), and many others.
