The New Organizing Institute Education Fund is putting on a 2-day conference in Washington, D.C., “Analytics And Optimization Training.” To qualify for the event, you need a year under your belt in on-line organizing, and the focus is heavy on metrics and measurement. The description for the event says,
21st-century organizing isn’t just about people, it’s about data. Gathering good data and knowing how to use it helps you evaluate your work, identify new opportunities, and organize better. NOIEF is bringing together experts from MoveOn, Analyst Institute and other major organizations to lead an in-depth, two-day training covering statistics, experimental design, optimization, data analysis, and everything else you’ll need to make sure you’re running the best campaigns you can.
The NOI web site has a host of free organizing training tools and lessons, including video, workbooks, and trainers references for learning and teaching organizing.
