Heather (Action Without Borders-Idealist.org) United States I'm most interested in the session on open source tools (in order to build the resources we offer and collect on our site more rapidly) and the participant bazaar (as a tool for networking and meeting/greeting to use in our own national, 1,500-person conference). Both seem like great tools that we can learn from that will facilitate more action among student activists, more efficiently!
