After many months of hard work, I am thrilled to invite you all to CaseCamp Benefit 2009 on September 16th at CiRCA. We’re twisting things up with a new format that takes inspiration from SXSW and TED – short presentations by leading practitioners in the social media field and beyond. Our focus is internet culture, strategy, and tactics.

So far, confirmed presenters include:
- CollegeHumor – Sam Reich, President of CollegeHumor Originals on the science of viral videos
- Todd Defren – Originator of the Social Media Press Release and Prinicpal at SHIFT Communications in Boston
- Know Your Meme – The full cast of the hit podcast

The traditional CaseCamp – free to attend, 4 presentations in the evening – will still be happening. But, to accommodate the larger groups that have been attending recently and the expanded schedule listed above, we will be adding an additional afternoon conference that costs $99 to attend.
CaseCamp Benefit will be a fundraiser for SickKids Hospital Foundation. We have enlisted the help of Zach Lieberman, The Pixel Gallery and Allen Chan (The Designer Guys) to redesign the Critical Care Unit Waiting Room at the hospital. We’re hoping to raise $50,000 towards this cause.
More details will follow, but for now I wanted to extend a special thank-you to everyone who has contributed to this CaseCamp so far – Michelle Cain, Iris Glaser, Lucia Mancuso, Diana Kimball, Kenyatta Cheese, Will Pate, and the team at CiRCA. As well, this event would not be happening without the help of sponsors, special thanks to The Blog Studio and CiRCA.
Pasted below is the schedule, expect things to change and shuffle around:
