Who's speaking?

To personify Web 2.0 to a New Zealand local government audience, Tara Hunt (The Whuffie Factor) and Chris Messina introduced us to citizen superheroes. We're pleased to announce that Mark Kuznicki, one of Tara and Chris' citizen superheroes, will be our guest speaker for Breakfast 9 on May 6th!

Citizen superheroes live their lives openly, work collaboratively and embrace their communities. These principles extend into everything they do and are exemplified by our speaker.

As described in his bio, Mark's work and life are driven by a social mission:

to reinvigorate community resilience and adaptation in response to accelerating global change

He does this in his professional life as a consultant on:

  • participation through social web technology
  • engaging creative communities in co-creative solution building through face-to-face events
  • community management practices and methods
  • community engagement strategies
  • design-thinking approaches to complex problem spaces

And Mark applies this as a citizen in his community of Toronto by organizing events like TransitCamp, an open-source 'solutions playground' that looked to the future of the city's transit system and its website.

How do we re-imagine government and citizenship in the age of participation?

The inaugural Toronto event was a success! It's unconference model is being looked at as a tool for citizen participation by communities and governments everywhere including Ottawa! You too can get engaged at an Ottawa ChangeCamp on May 16th.

SMBOttawa has been organized and hosted by Simon Chen, Rob Lane and Ryan Anderson since 2008. SMBOttawa's breakfast networking events are inspired and have evolved from the Social Media Breakfast concept started by Bryan Person in Boston:

". . . as an almost-monthly event where social media experts and newbies alike come together to eat, meet, share, and learn. Marketers, PR pros, entrepreneurs, bloggers, podcasters, new media fanatics, and online social networkers are all welcome to attend."
