The world has seemingly never had so many problems. On the other hand, there’s also never been so many causes designed to solve them with technology that enables people to contribute with just the tap of a finger. It’s an amazing time to be in the business of creating change--yet these developments have bred new challenges. It’s never been so difficult to break through and have your cause noticed. With such an explosion of options in what causes to support, there are new standards on the rise to assess the actual value of contributions. This panel will take a hard look at what it takes to have your cause get noticed, in a way that can actually influence behavior and ultimately create action.
