The Flat, Inner- and Inter-connected living World: How top companies and thought leaders coming together at a Silicon Valley Executives meetup to support people of Haiti.

January 16th, 2010 · 10:37 am @ admin  -  6 Comments

I remember this day. As usual I was at my computer when I saw a tweet: Haiti: Strong Earthquake. This could be bad – was an immediate thought, little did I know how bad it will be… But right there, within minutes from the event I recorded live news coverage on this earthquake:

By now we know how desperate the situation is. I hardly can watch live CNN coverage from the grounds in Haiti…

And in a meantime I was working on the upcoming event on February 9 for Bay Area Executives with the exciting speaker: Jon Samsel from Bank of America.  And I made my first call – to the owner of the catering company Samovar I am using for my events – Alex Alshvang.  My question was – can we donate all the proceeds from the event to Red Cross Haiti relief fund?  His immediate response was – YES.  And I made more calls.

Here is a list of companies and individuals who are contributing their products and services to support the people of Haiti:

Samovar Café

For donating money from the catering for this event.

CISCO

3 Flip Cameras

– will be auctioned off at the event.

Charlene Li

2 autographed “Groundswell” and “Open Leadership” books.

Shel Israel

4 autographed Twitterville books.

Natalia Petouhoff

1 day of free consulting services.

You can join us too:

  1. You can attend the event: all proceeds will go to support the cause;
  2. You can donate money on this site.
  3. You can bid on the products and services by sending me an email.
  4. You can donate your products and services to be auctioned off at the event.

Your support CAN save LIVES!
