Activate: digital leadership
With Hollyhock Leadership Institute
June 3 - 7, 2020
We are excited to offer Activate as a 4-part interactive virtual series that offers participants intimate conversations with leading figures from digital, politics, and labour on relevant topics for the times we are in. Register here.
You may also find details on Hollyhock’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic here.
Activate is a digital leadership training conference. We bring together the sharpest digital minds from political and advocacy campaigns, labour unions, creative agencies, and causes for four days of hard-skills training in digital leadership, strategy and tactics.
Gain bold clarity on how to intelligently activate your organization from the inside, and crack the code to engaging your target audience to win campaigns, raise money, and hit your goals.
Incredibly valuable to my own growth – will give value to my work in many ways for years to come. – Candace Jazvac, Activate 2018 Participant
Why Activate?
There are enough conferences to talk about the problems we need to solve, but there aren’t a lot of places to get in a room and learn how to use the tools to win.
Activate is all about practical training. Selecting the right combination of tools, designing and executing a strategy to win.
Who is Activate for?
Activate is for progressive digital practitioners. You might be a digital director at an advocacy organization, a content writer at a political party, an organizer at a labour union, or a senior leader who tries to bring all these pieces together. You might work with clients to deliver great digital campaigns, or build new technology.
Activate participants come from a wide variety of professional backgrounds with varying amounts of digital experience. But we share a commitment to building digital capacity among progressives in Canada, sharing our learnings with each other, and lifting each other up.
This was a remarkable experience. I feel rejuvenated both physically and intellectually. My whole time here has been mind blowing.– Chris Parri, Activate 2018 Participant
Hollyhock is working to make sure our conferences and events are accessible and valuable to diverse communities. We welcome and encourage applicants who will bring diversity to Activate, including but not limited to diversity of gender, race, ability, sexual orientation, and class. We know that important, exciting, and innovative digital work is happening on the margins. At Activate, we will hold up, support, and provide a platform for / share this work.
