Change Everything - the site we built for Vancity Credit Union - never seems to run short on surprises.

This is fantastic news: Micki Krimmel, Director of Internet Outreach for Participant Productions, is going to be holding a one-hour session as part of the NetSquared Remote Conferenced.

Its ground-breaking participate.net site is a must-visit for anyone who wants to see how media and message can blend into mobilization. And with Participant's An Inconvenient Truth about to debut in theaters, this promises to be a timely, exciting session.
