DC on Nov 13 at 8:30AM: IREX Social Network Analysis: Influence and Impact Beyond Likes and Retweets

I will participate in a workshop at IREX in Washington D.C. on November 13, 2013.

The workshop is titled Social Network Analysis: Influence and Impact Beyond Likes and Retweets.  We will focus on the applications of social network analysis for development efforts, exploring how SNA can:

• Create viral and influential advocacy and political campaigns
• Find business and employment connections for entrepreneurs and youth
• Identify hidden disease vectors and stop new infection pathways
• Break circles of government corruption and graft
• Target existing informal support resources for disaster response

The workshop will be facilitated by Wayan Vota along with three social network analysis researchers:

1. Marc Smith, Social Media Research Foundation and NodeXL
2. Rohan Grover, Upworthy  and  People For the American Way
3. Behar Xharra, Kosovo Diaspora

This Deep Dive will be an active event. We will mix thoughtful discussions with experiential activities, building social capital while we learn about social networks. Participants are encouraged to submit social media topics in advance so maps and reports can be generated for the event.

Note that this event is in-person only, so please RSVP now to attend.
