SXSW 2010 Salsa Social: Latinos in Technology Meet Up
It’s an important year for Latinos to be heard, seen and counted. Census 2010 will shape what access our community gets to political and economical power. At the first Latino Tech Meet-up at SXSW, we are convening a panel to discuss how we can use social media and mobile to help our community stand-up to be counted. After the panel, we will mingle and take a break with a salsa social. Learn how to salsa and get social with Latinos and those interested in Latino Outreach at #SXSW. Connect at the Carver Museum, one of the most beautiful museums in Austin Sunday, March 14, 2010 from 6 to 9pm. Locals without badges are welcome. No dancing required, but highly recommended.

Participatory Media to Transform Selves and World
12th Allied Media Conference
June 18-20, 2009 Detroit, Michigan
The Allied Media Conference advances our visions for a just and creative world. It is a laboratory for media-based solutions to the matrix of life-threatening problems we face. Since our founding in 1999, we have evolved our definition of media, and the role it can play in our lives – from zines to video-blogging to breakdancing, to communicating solidarity and creating justice. Each conference builds off the previous one and plants the seeds for the next. Ideas and relationships evolve year-round, incorporating new networks of media-makers, technologists and social justice organizers. We draw strength from our converging movements to face the challenges and opportunities of our current moment. We are ready to create, connect and transform.
