The Crowdsourced Search for MH370
DigitalGlobe activated its crowdsourcing platform, Tomnod in an effort to locate the Boeing 777 jetliner that mysteriously disappeared on March 8 while in flight from Malaysia to Beijing. The company asked volunteers to support the rescue mission by visiting DigitalGlobe’s Tomnod platform to begin combing through satellite imagery for clues that may help locate the missing aircraft. Luke Barrington, Founder and CTO of Tomnod will give us the low-down on the efforts and talk about the potential of crowdsourcing for rescue and relief missions

There Is No More B2B or B2C: There Is Only Human to Human (H2H)
Bryan Kramer, the author of the new book, Human to Human #H2H, has extensive experience in brand marketing with a focus on integrated communications and strategic business planning. At #CSWGloabl14, he will talk about the new shift in brand language and speak. It used to be that marketing was segmented into two categories; business-to-business (B2B) or business-to-consumer (B2C). But consumers are humans and want to hear from humans in a language that is natural without unnecessary embellishments and jargon. Through his talk Bryan will highlight how enterprises can create shifts towards better engagement through a more human-centric approach.
How to Establish a Global Presence for Your Startup Through Crowdfunding
Veteran tech entrepreneur Nick NM Yap successfully crowdfunded 2 startups within 4 months that collectively raised over a million dollars – Ornate TrueSmart and ROCKI. Why do some projects fly while others tank? How can you effectively use crowdsourcing to boost your project? The opportunities are endless to do good and do well. Nick believes that start-ups are bringing a fresh wind of innovation and the impact is more and more visible. With today’s connected world, establishing a global presence and marketing in the world is no longer out of reach. Communities like Kickstarter, crowdfunding and crowdsourcing are giving start-ups the muscles to innovate.
Why is the UN Investing in a Crowdsourcing Platform to Engage the Youth?
The Office of the Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth recently launched a crowdsourcing initiative for youth priorities in the post-2015 development agenda. The crowdsourcing has been endorsed by the President of the General Assembly, who calls the Global Partnership for Youth “a groundbreaking initiative”, that presents an opportunity for young people to help move the post-2015 development debate from consultation to consolidation. Mattias Sundholm, Communications Advisor to the UN will deliver an exclusive recorded message that will highlight the opportunity this initiative presents for youth initiatives.
