This past weekend was full of more conferencing than I’ve been involved with in a long time. The 2009 Pacific Northwest Microfinance Conference was visited by an all star lineup of practitioners from some of the leading microfinance organizations in the world, including Kiva.org, WorldVision, Esperanza International, and Agros.
Just down the street was the Freedom Initiative’s UNBOUND Anti-Human Trafficking Conference, a great breakthrough in unifying Seattle’s many abolitionists in a meaningful weekend spearheaded by the student-led Freedom Initiative. I was honored to lead a workshop on the topic: Social Entrepreneurship and the Abolitionist Movement, and my presentation is posted online at HERE.
Speaking of which, to present the content for the workshop, I did a last-minute switch from Microsoft PowerPoint to www.Prezi.com, and I must say I have never been more impressed with a free, web-based app than I have with Prezi. It has completely changed how I will share presentations from now on. Check it out!
