NetSquared's local groups, often known as Net Tuesdays, are popping up in cities around the world so quickly we can barely sit still from all the excitement.   The global NetSquared community is really filling in the globe!   I hope you'll join me in welcoming some of our newest organizers and groups: you can find out more about the newest additions below, and learn about how you can get involved here.

What's Net2 Local?

Net Tuesday or NetSquared Local groups are monthly events that take place in cities around the world. These events serve as a great opportunity to convene local communities to share ideas, learn from each other, and even collaborate on projects for real world impact. These gatherings provide a chance to connect for all those interested in the intersection of social technologies and social change in your local community. Members of local groups represent nonprofit organizations and foundations, government agencies and service providers, designers and developers, innovators and social entrepreneurs.

Who's New?
