Taking Engagement to the Next Level

We are excited to focus on the use of technology to enhance global interaction at the 2008 New England YPIC conference. This year, we aim to center our discussions around improving communication and education on a global scale. Many global issues are rooted in misunderstanding, misinformation, and lack of education. YPIC is a grassroots style organization that gathers young professionals to discuss global issues--using logic and collaboration we can help to improve channels of communication and better the education of individuals within our communities. Today, technology and the internet have made information more accessible than ever. The accessibility and ease of blogs make them a good medium of communication, and efforts of local citizens like those at One Laptop Per Child are quickening the advancement of these technologies around the world. At our conference, we hope to highlight this power that our citizenry can access through new media. We have gathered an array of local charitable organizations to discuss their goals and experiences, and will provide detailed technical instructions regarding how to utilize today's technologies so that all participants will leave inspired and confident.

These issues are very important to us, and we hope that you find yourself interested as well.
