June 10 G-Everyone

This June, world leaders are gathering for the G-8 Summit, and we’re inviting you to gather as part of the global launch of G-everyone: an opportunity to share your solutions for addressing some of the world's biggest challenges. For more info, visit: @http://on.mash.to/12H0bA7

Mashable and partners will launch this 24-hour digital convening on June 10, the eve of the G-8 Summit. The G-everyone dialogue will provide an open discussion around the G-8’s core themes of open economies, open governments and open societies. Our goal is to bring the connected generation into the conversation. We encourage you to organize or attend a Mashable Meetup in your own hometown and discuss three big questions: 1. How can innovation stimulate your local economy?

2. How can technology make your government more open?

3. How can online communities help build healthier societies? You can share your Meetup group's answers through an exciting new community called +SocialGood. It will be launching to the public in the coming days, but you can get a sneak peak at www.plussocialgood.org. You can also share your feedback via the #Geveryone hashtag on Twitter, Vine and Instagram. Mashable will feature the best ideas on Mashable.com. We will gather global data from the G-everyone Meetups through +SocialGood and report back on the themes and ideas emerging around the world. The initial G-everyone themes will be shared at a series of high-level meetings in London during the G-8. Sign up for a meet up now, or organize your own, and let your voice be heard! The G-everyone Meetup is brought to you by the Social Good Summit partners: Mashable, 92nd Street Y, the United Nations Foundation, the United Nations Development Progamme and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
