Background
Long before LinkedIn and Facebook, Planetwork convened a conversation about how a purposeful global network of people and NGO’s could transform the world.
Despite a wave of new social media IPO's, that potential remains largely unrealized and more needed than ever.
On May 27, 2011 Planetwork convened an invitational meeting including many from those early conversations, as well a number of new players, all of whom have been actively working on examples of that vision over the intervening years.
