There’s a lot going on at HopeLab at the moment as we approach the public launch of Zamzee, work on some exciting upcoming developments for Re-Mission and continue to explore all aspects of joy through the JOY Campaign.
Here’s a peek at a few fun things you may have missed and a couple of opportunities to support HopeLab:
Vote for Our Panel Submissions for NTC 2012
HopeLab submitted two panel concepts to the Nonprofit Technology Conference 2012. Want to see us there? Then we could use your vote! Here’s what we proposed to organizers:
Positively Inspired Change Campaigns
A proposed joint presentation by HopeLab Manager of Emerging Media Tom Dawkins and Epic Change founder/CEO Stacey Monk.
“Social change agents often use guilt, fear, pity, or outrage to rally an audience around a cause. But does tapping into negative emotions with the hope of creating positive change make sense?”

Stealth Health: Scaling Gamified Systems for Good
A presentation by HopeLab VP of Communications and Marketing Richard Tate.
“Academics, nonprofits and independent developers have spent years and millions proving the potential for games to engage consumers in their own healthcare. Still, few titles have reached the kind of scale that can move the needle on the world’s most challenging – and costly – health problems.”

To vote for either panel look for the “Vote this Session Up or Down” box alongside the “Takeaways” and click the up arrow.
Support HopeLab and Help Little Rue do a Little Good
Here’s another opportunity to show some love. Rue La La is a members-only shopping destination focused on top fashion brands. Not an obvious fit with our work at HopeLab, but the folks at Rue approached us about a campaign that tapped into the power and appeal of shopping to do some good. During the month of September Rue La La are giving 100% of profits from Little Rue, their new children’s site, to four children’s charities. We are grateful that they selected HopeLab as one of these charities, alongside three other wonderful organizations: First Book, Room to Read and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.
The proportion of funds each organization receives depends on how many votes it receives during the month. You can vote once each day here.
