“Forget concepts and theory,” say the organizers of Social Media for Nonprofits, “this is all about practical tips and tools.”

The conferences are coming up in seven cities—San Francisco, Washington, DC, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, and Atlanta—this summer and fall. They’ll feature workshops and panels, plus keynotes by (depending on your city) Beth Kanter, Guy Kawasaki, Alexis Ohanian, our own Ami Dar, and many others. Each conference will be followed by a book launch for Darian Heyman’s Nonprofit Management 101 (read Ami’s foreward here).

And if you decide to attend, you can use the discount code “idealist” and get $20 off registration!
