Craigslist Foundation Boot Camp: Be there, or be… missing out
 |
If a boot camp makes you think of a bunch of people in fatigues being made to climb ropes and run in the mud, you’re not alone. But the Craigslist Foundation Boot Camp is instead a highly enjoyable and educational affair… |
A training day for the community
The Craigslist Foundation Boot Camp is an intensive but fun series of training sessions to strengthen your community impact. You’ll be among 1,500 participants in over 35 workshops, and hear featured presentations by several community leaders, including Craig Newmark of the Craigslist Foundation, Steven Wright of Salesforce Foundation, Marsha L. Semmel of the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences, and Chip Conley of Joie de Vivre. And no, you won’t be asked to climb any ropes.
Since 2004, 10,000 people have gone through The Boot Camp generously hosted by Craigslist Foundation.
WiserEarth panels

I was a fortunate attendee for the first time last year & really recommend the Craigslist Boot Camp for anyone interested in social media outreach.
I met some fabulous people at the event and it was a really exciting event.
Thank you WiserEarth & Craigslist!
