Stanford Diaries - Online Giving Markets - The journey begins

Airports are curious places: a cultural no-mans land - a collision of world citizens on the move.

I am sitting at Heathrow Airport in the Departure lounge –watching time and people pass by. My journey, together with Till, is taking us across the Atlantic, to take part in an annual event – the gathering of Online Giving Markets, 5 – 8 Oct at Stanford University.

This year betterplace has been invited to take part in the event – we feel honoured - and look forward to inspiring discussions, sharing ideas with like minded people, but mostly, strengthening our common goal of using the internet for change.

We will stay in San Francisco tonight, then tomorrow have been generously invited to stay with Hitesh and his wife ( www.qashcow.com – watch this space), and on Sunday the conference kicks off.

Let the journey begin…
