Omidyar Network Conference - Chicago - July 29-31

[Michael Herman]

Hello Friends,

Thought some might enjoy seeing this.  Would be great if some could
join us.  This is a direct descendent (but not really a replication,
if that makes sense) of the Giving Conference we did last year in
Chicago.  Many of the participants last year got mixed up in the
Omidyar Network (O.Net), named for eBay and Omidyar Network founder
Pierre Omidyar.   This is one product of the connections and
conversations that followed the Giving Conference and mixed into all
of what was already going on at O.Net.

What I can tell you about O.Net is that the people are great.  The
projects are diverse and innovative and exciting.  The location is
Harrison's favorite venue in Chicago.  And if that wasn't enough, it
also happens to be timed such that you can do most of OT-23 and still
arrive in time for the this opening.  A side trip on the way to
OSONOS?  <grin>  Oh yes, and the theme/purpose ain't bad either:
Working Together So That More and More People Discover Their Own Power
to Make Good Things Happen.

Here's how the invite begins...

Please join us for a three-day event of, by and for the Omidyar.net
community and friends -- to build our capacity to make good things
happen.
