--------------

	Want to improve your "social" skills? The common theme in June is social media, and we've got events covering everything from social apps to improving your community management skills. Also check out entrepreneur evenings, a Silicon Alley talent fair, and much more below.
	Founders @Fail: Brad Burnham (Union Square Ventures) Wednesday 6/1 from 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM New York, NY / $10 Been seeing a lot of the proverbial “fail whale” lately? There’s good news! Often the most epic #fails lead to some of the best business lessons, and this series is all about the takeaways from those lows. Up next is VC Brad Burnham, who sits on the boards of 9 companies... hey, that doesn’t sound like failing!
	The Social Experience of Media: Personalized Apps, TV, ECommerce, what’s next... Tuesday 6/7 from 6 PM – 9 PM New York, NY / $15 WimLink—which connects women in tech and media—hosts this evening of cocktails, networking, and discussion about the real impact social media is having on consumers. Caroline Waxler, head of content for Lucky Magazine, will share her insider’s take on this critical subject.
	Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream Speed Coaching Event Monday 6/13 from 6 PM – 8:30 PM Brooklyn, NY / Free You know the name of Samuel Adams’ founder—and even the sound of his voice—which says something about the success of Jim Koch’s industry-leading microbrewery. Experts from the company teach food and beverage entrepreneurs the nuts and bolts of PR, financing, legal and more at this workshop at The Commons Brooklyn.
	Entrepreneur iEvening Tuesday 6/14 at 4 PM New York, NY / $30 You know the old spelling lesson: an “i” before “evening” means you’re in for a night of startup goodness. This evening workshop hosted by the iBreakfast crew gathers entrepreneurs, executives and venture types, letting you pitch your business plan to the folks in the know.
	Discover New Companies from Abroad Wednesday 6/15 from 5:30 PM – 8 PM New York, NY / $75 Want to get in on those emerging markets before they’ve emerged? Foreign startups while they’re still... starting up? Find out which international companies are leading the charge in this evening of cocktails and roundtables from the Worldwide Investor Network. It’s no accident their initials spell WIN.
	Using Social Media to Make Your Organization More Likeable Tuesday 6/16 from 8:30 AM – 10:30 AM New York, NY / $99–125 The truly great thing about social media for companies is that if it’s used right, it can instantly make your brand friendly and fun—in short, likeable! This Likeable Media event teaches you precisely how to become “irresistible in the social media space.” Thumbs up!
	Silicon Alley Talent Fair & After Party Thursday 6/16 from 12 PM – 6 PM New York, NY / $200–350 Silicon Alley is on a roll lately, and an influx of top 212 tech talent is a big reason why. If you’ve got a New York startup in need of new hires, don’t miss this chance to get the cream of the crop in one spot. There’s a reduced rate if your startup has fewer than 5 employees!
	Defining Metrics and Analytics for Your Community Efforts: A Workshop Wednesday 6/29 from 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM New York, NY / $65 Community management is a critical new area for companies: But how do you judge whether your efforts are working? What does success even look like in the social media world? Lauren Perkins of Perks Consulting talks engagement and influence—and tells you which numbers you need to be watching.

Upcoming SIB Webinar First-Mover States - What Are They Doing and Why? Join us on June 9th, 1:00 – 2:15pm EST Sign Up! Social Impact Bonds (SIB) have generated considerable interest in the United States. Much of this interest centers on the potential embedded in the SIB structure for bringing positive changes to the financing, delivery and cost of social programs that is built on the core concept of  "pay for performance." President Obama's budget for 2012 galvanized this interest in its proposal to provide $100 million in funding to support "Pay for Success" projects.  Recently, some states have begun to take concrete steps to investigate the possibility of implementing comprehensive pay for performance financing programs. In this webinar, two first-mover states that are taking different approaches to pay-for-performance financing, Massachusetts and Minnesota, discuss: (i) what factors led them to take their respective approaches, (ii) what their approaches involve, (iii) the current status of their efforts and (v) what they hope to accomplish. Massachusetts' Request for Information (RFI) In issuing its Request for Information to explore 'Social Innovation Financing,' Massachusetts is the first state to take formal steps towards a comprehensive social innovation financing program that includes social impact bonds or pay-for-success contracts in response to President Obama's Pay for Success initiative launched earlier this year. Minnesota's 'Human Capital Performance Bond' The Minnesota House and Senate recently passed a State Government Bill that contains a provision for a $20 million pilot for 'human capital performance bonds.' Under this provision in the bill, the bonds would be issued in the municipal bond market by Minnesota, under the bonding authority of the State. Bond proceeds would provide a pool of capital that would be used to support pay for performance based programs delivered by pre-qualified service providers (learn more here). Minnesota's human capital performance bond legislation is based on Twin Cities Rise!, a successful, 13-year pay for performance contracting program in the State. This is the first approach to consider issuing bonds in the capital markets for the sole purpose of supporting pay for performance programs. Panelists Greg Mennis: Assistant Secretary for Finance and Infrastructure, Massachusetts Executive Office for Administration and Finance Steve Rothschild: Founder and President of Invest in Outcomes (IIO). IIO is a nonprofit piloting a "Human Capital Performance Bond" Sign up for the webinar here!

If you missed it, you can find the webinar recording in the SIB Learning Group. (You'll need to be logged in to access these links.) Along with the slides and video of the webinar, Nicola Bacon from The Young Foundation and Kylie Charlton and Les Hems from the Centre for Social Impact have responded to additional questions in the Q&A post.

Climate change has become one of the most visible phenomena in the world today, recognized through the changes occurring to physical climates, natural and managed environments and social organizations, and also through deliberations about ethical responsibility and public policy.
This special event will explore the topic of climate change from diverse disciplinary perspectives, illustrating that this phenomenon is not simply a scientific problem, but a social and economic one as well and that the development of solutions is likely to require interdisciplinary partnerships. David Rind of NASA/GISS will discuss his research using climate models to predict future impacts; Steve Rose of EPRI will speak about the economic impacts of climate change; Lauren Chambliss of Cornell will share her experiences communicating environmental issues to policy makers; and finally the speakers will participate in a moderated discussion about how their disciplines must come together to address and illuminate the problem of global climate change.
Networking reception to follow.

TEDxEast - "Tinker, Noodle, Obsess" on May 8

I'm on the local TED events email list, so check this out!
Cheers,
Katharine


May 2, 2011

Let the festivities begin...


As we promised our community, we have some wonderful things planned for you next weekend in anticipation of TEDxEast's  "Tinker, Noodle, Obsess".  We know how our community loves to spend time together. So in collaboration with our partner, Lincoln, we have organized a few "Smart-City" tours next  SUNDAY,  MAY 8, 2011.


Here is how it works:

We have created three "Smart-City" tours that will pair a guided tour of some of the work of TEDxEast speakers you will hear on Monday, May 9, with private tours of some of NYC's most iconic cultural institutions.

The options begin and end at staggered times and all tours originate outside the Times Center at 242 W 41st Street.   Space is limited and these tours brought to you through the generosity of our partner, Lincoln, who will provide transportation for all attendees in Lincoln MKZ Hybrid and Lincoln MKX vehicles. (The cars will also be available for test drives during the breaks on May 9). The tours from start to finish will last about 2.5 hours.


Here are the options:

TEDxEast Community Day "Smart-City Tour" MoMA - Departure from Times Center at 10:30 am

TEDxEast Community Day "Smart City Tour" Lincoln Center -Departure  from Times Center at 1 pm

TEDxEast Community Day "Smart-City Tour" Metropolitan Museum-Departure from Times Center  at 2:30 pm

One gentle reminder- we ask that if you RSVP you are sure you can attend.  Space is limited and both Lincoln and the TEDxEast volunteers have put a lot of time into organizing this and we want to make sure it is full!  But, we cannot do cancellations or wait-lists- so we ask you to work on the honor system.
