Bridging the Divide: the challenges and opportunities of integrating online and offline campaigning

Any well-run campaign includes targeting and engaging with people in the digital and physical words, but rarely are these two pieces brought together seamlessly and to full effectiveness. The implications? We aren't winning as much as we could be because we aren’t maximizing the connections we make online to those we establish offline, and vice versa. This session is a collection of stories about how some organizations thought holistically about their outreach and maximized their impact by bringing these worlds together. We'll share stories about using data and databases to find your audience online and offline, verifying your research through social listening, amplifying your messages across multiple channels, build relationships with supporters that bridge the divide of their digital and real work lives.

Rewriting the Rules: Economic Democracy in the 21st Century

Our economic system isn’t working for most people. A growing number of people are re-writing the rules in Canada and around the world -- through policy research, community organizing, philanthropy and political action. This session will zero in on the efforts of three people working in three very different places: Toronto, Montreal and Barcelona/Madrid. We’ll explore what democracy has to do with the economy, and how we can work together to make fair rules that work for people and the planet.
