Robert J. Rosenthal: Recapping SXSWi: Do Nonprofits Need a Place at the Web's Biggest Event?

Robert J. Rosenthal: Recapping SXSWi: Do Nonprofits Need a Place at the Web's Biggest Event?: For social good fans, the problem was exacerbated this year as SxSW organizers did away with "Greater Good," the track which cobbled together sessions on topics related to tech in civic participation, community engagement, online social actions, tracking and measurement of public improvement, and interactive storytelling to inspire audience to make a difference.

Instead of Greater Good, SXSW participants had to wade through hundreds of session descriptions in theme area like Community and Activism, Social and Relationships, Design and Development, Health and Medicine, and Government and Civic Engagement in order to find talks that may specifically apply to nonprofit management or executing on a complex mission.
