Please join GFEM and fellow funders for The NetSquared Global Conference, a two-day meeting that encourages dialogue among people working at the intersection of technology and progressive change initiatives. The gathering brings together unlikely allies from different professional fields, including: leaders in philanthropy, corporate philanthropy, engineering, media and world-class innovators driving the development, distribution and use of social technologies for progressive change.

The conference provides participants an opportunity to attend interactive sessions facilitated by leaders working at the cross-roads of technology and social change, create new collaborations, and participate in a uniquely democratic approach to funding innovation through the Project voting process.

A highlight of the conference is the NY24 Mobile Challenge, an opportunity to develop and learn about projects using mobile technology for social change that are competing for cash prizes. All conference attendees have an opportunity to share their perspective and insights with the competing projects, and vote to fund N2Y4 Mobile Challenge Projects competing for $50k in cash-prizes and in-kind resources.

Registration for this year's Netsquared conference opened on March 9. Last year’s conference sold out quickly—so get your tickets now.
