Let's Surf the Web 2.0

Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Blogger-you've heard these names and you've heard of Web 2.0, but how can they help your non-profit?

No, I didn't come up with the title for this blog, but "Let's Surf the Web 2.0" is the name of a great event in which either you or your favorite charitable non-profit organization should participate.

On Friday, October 31st (Halloween), Deloitte and T4T is hosting a free workshop at 111 S. Wacker to discuss social networking and strategies you can use to market your organization to a wider audience. Learn how Web 2.0 can help you cost-effectively:
- Attract volunteers and donations
- Advertise events
- Drive traffic to your Web site
- Build awareness for your organization and cause

Since 2007, Deloitte has partnered with Teaming for Technology on their annual "Impact Day" to provide IT consulting services to Chicago's charitable non-profit agencies. The feedback from these events in addition to the newly created "First Friday" series has been so positive that Deloitte and T4T decided to partner once again this year for a follow-up session to address web 2.0 technologies.

This is a complementary event, but space is limited. To confirm your spot, RSVP via e-mail to uschidclc@deloitte.com no later than Friday, October 24th.
