Netroots Nation 2013 will be taking place in San Jose, CA from June 20th to the 23rd. Each year we have 30 hands-on training sessions covering critical social media, new media and organizing skills. These sessions are led by experienced professionals from the most well-known organizations and publications in the progressive movement.
Training tracks for 2013 will include beginner and advanced online organizing, communications, design and more. Past training topics have included:
- Using social media for political advocacy
- Building a strategic online campaign
- Online analytics and testing
- New online tools
- Branding and design
- Common website mistakes
- Grassroots organizing and lobbying
- Advertising online with a modest budget
- Writing kick-ass emails
When you’re brainstorming ideas, here are a few things to remember:
- How does my session help the broader progressive movement?
- How will it empower activists to take what they’ve learned and use it for the greater good?
- Do my trainers represent diversity—of ethnicity, gender, geography, age and viewpoint?
- Did I build in interaction with the audience?
