Below you’ll find special video footage from Concern Worldwide staff in Malawi.

Infusionsoft, the leader in email marketing 2.0 for small business, has pledged to support for Twestival Phoenix for the third year in a row.
The past two Twestival Phoenix events were in large part made possible by Infusionsoft’s sponsorship. Infusionsoft’s donation to the previous Twestival Phoenix events covered all venue and food/drink costs. We are deeply grateful for Infusionsoft’s commitment to fostering community and helping those in need.
Infusionsoft has stepped up their game for Twestival Phoenix Global 2010 and will be providing a free year of service to one lucky silent bidder in addition to helping to fund the event.
Lately, you have probably heard about Infusionsoft as they help thousands of small businesses with their email marketing, CRM and e-commerce needs and they’re also a spirited supporter of the entrepreneurial Phoenix community.
In addition to event support, they have donated a full year of Infusionsoft Deluxe service, valued at over $3500. This is a great chance for the entrepreneurs and small businesses to improve their marketing efforts and help a great cause. All proceeds benefit Concern Worldwide on behalf of Twestival Phoenix.
What is Infusionsoft?
Infusionsoft is a web-app that’s designed for small businesses that need to follow-up with prospects and customers more effectively. Infusionsoft is the first to marry email marketing and CRM into one application that’s driven by a powerful automation engine and lets you send more than only email (phone/fax/direct mail) so you follow up effectively and your small business grows. You can learn more by watching a demo or get your hands dirty with a free trial.

Rapid Rebrand is part of Dojo Collective’s efforts to assist businesses with building or improving their web and print presence through assistance with branding, logo, website design and development, and development of print materials.
This project is generally limited to support of non-profit businesses in the Phoenix area that do not have a budget for professional design work. Dojo uses a team of volunteers with varying professional skills in order to complete these projects.
Each month, a non-profit is selected to participate in the initiative based on recommendation and need. Work is performed during an intensive one-day session to enhance the collaborative efforts and provide an opportunity for the volunteers to engage with other professionals in a friendly atmosphere.
As part of this donation to Twestival Phoenix, Dojo is considering Twestival to be the non-profit entity that we are helping. By bidding on this item, your business or entity will receive the collateral benefit while all amounts will be donated to the continuation of Twestival’s goals.
Dojo feels that this is a great opportunity to provide community support and hopes that you will value the donation accordingly!
Thank you for helping Dojo Collective participate in Twestival Phoenix 2010.

Well, if you missed out on Ignite Phoenix 6 tickets, you know you’re pretty much out of luck.
They sold out in 30 minutes this time! If you weren’t ready & waiting at your keyboard, you would’ve needed to make arrangements with someone who was, to even have a smidgen of a chance at scoring tickets.
If you did miss out, you can try your luck at the Ignite Phoenix Facebook page to see if you can get tickets from someone who bought too many…
Other than that, you’re pretty much out of luck.
…or are you…
It turns out that Ignite Phoenix has donated 4 tickets to Twestival Phoenix!
And 2 super rare Ignite Phoenix t-shirts!
And Ignite Phoenix pins!
And Ignite Phoenix name badges!
And an Ignite Phoenix bag!
You’ll see these in the silent auction.
w00t!!
Just another bonus for coming to Twestival Phoenix!
Huge thanks to @jmoriarty and the rest of the Ignite Phoenix team for supporting the event!!!!
