Conferences

Creative Commons is a small nonprofit. CC presents at several conferences a year, but the formal staff is small. We often need other CC community members to help us at conferences by helping present the projects, fliers, and other issues. Also, this is a great way to get into your favorite conference for free!

Presentations

How can you give a presentation about Creative Commons to your respective locale, business associates, community members, and friends. This is a good way to participate and help build the commons - explain the ideas to others to help spread the good news!
