Pop!Tech Social Innovators Program
Equipping World-Changing Innovators with 21st Century
Tools and Training
Around the world, visionary change agents are incubating new approaches to
the planet’s toughest social and environmental challenges. Yet they’re often
doing so without taking advantage of the latest tools and thinking in
technology, communications, innovation and design
The Pop!Tech Social Innovation Fellows program is designed to help fill that gap
- to equip world-changing innovators with vanguard tools, insights and
relationships that can help them take their innovations to scale
This year, Pop!Tech hosted sixteen high potential change agents - chosen from around
the world and from many different social-innovation fields - to participate in a
unique, cutting-edge Fellows program designed to accelerate their impact.
Fellows participated in the 2008 Pop!Tech conference, the
annual gathering of thought leaders and change agents that convened in October, 2008 in Camden, Maine. Fellows also took part in a multi-day in-depth
leadership and skills development program prior to Pop!Tech that covered a range
of
areas critical to success in creating "big bet" social programs

About Pop!Tech
Every October, in the beautiful seaside
village of Camden, Maine, at the height of the fall foliage season, there is a
one-of-a-kind conference called Pop!Tech
Held in a beautifully restored, 19th-century opera house, this three-day summit
explores the cutting-edge ideas, emerging technologies and new forces of change
that are shaping our collective future. The conference brings together hundreds
of visionary thinkers in the sciences, technology, business, design, the arts,
education, government and culture
But the conference isn’t a talking
heads festival; nestled between mind-expanding presentations on a huge variety
of subjects are musical performances, short films, demonstrations, and other
one-of-a-kind surprises. Over the course of three days, every part of your mind
is engaged
The breathtaking content, beautiful setting, intimate scale, and informal tone
make Pop!Tech an experience like no other. At the end, you’ll leave with dozens
of new ideas, a better sense of where the world is headed, a new network of
relationships and a lasting inspiration to create a better world
