Format
The event was organised primarily using both the open space format of self-organising groups discussing topics of mutual interest. Presentations by participants and invited speakers opened the event.
Topics
This is a starting list of topics based on informal input. The actual topics will be determined by which ones attract the most interest before the event - so get involved to ensure your objectives for attending are met.
- Campaigning 2.0 Topics
- Blogging for Campaigning
- Syndication for Campaigning
- Social Networking for Campaigning
- Online Video, Podcasts for Campaigning
- Mobile Phones for Campaigning
- Trend or Fad: Second Life and other sexy examples
- Campaigning Essentials Topics
- Campaigning Impact: Is using new media for campaigning really effective?
- Global Campaigning: learning the lessons
- Segmenting: Getting the most out of your supporter base
- The Digital Ceiling: Overcoming the barriers to get the backing you need
- Campaign Benchmarking: Putting it into practice
- Online and Offline Integration: Planning and Implementation
- eCampaigning Horizons - Looking ahead to what is coming in the near future
- Suggest other topics - its your event
Topic Timing in the Agenda
Topics will be allocated to time slots one week before the event. Between now and then suggested topics will be added as they are raised. Any topics with the highest interest will be allocated to different time slots so they don't conflict. Those with no or very low interest will be cancelled. At the event, extra time can be spent on the above topics as people are willing and new topics can be added as necessary.
There are thus four 'official' time slots for topics. If you stayed for the full time of each topic, you could participate in four topics. However you also are free to switch between topics at any time, so if you are not learning anything, participating or just want to explore a few different topics then switch.
Facilitators
Facilitators with experience in the methodology used at the eCampaigning Forum has been arranged.
