Present your project at a Net Tuesday.

Each month, social changemakers and technological forerunners come together at Net Tuesday events around the world to mix, swap stories and ideas, build new relationships, and reinforce our online NetSquared community. These monthly events offer a great opportunity for you to find collaborators from all stretches of social change and social media, whether you're looking for a developer, programmer, entrepreneur or a social change project or nonprofit organization. Net Tuesday events are a perfect place for innovators to showcase ideas to the local community and get feedback, ideas, and support.

Contact your local Net Tuesday group to get involved or contact The NetSquared Team for more information.
