Hey guys!

I saw the picture/link of YN Summits on the main page and it links to an ebay page for a charitable auction.

I was wondering what information there is out there about these summits...how they are going to work, etc...

It didn't say anything about coming to New York City, only the greatest and most diverse city in our country! (And theres my rant about that)

Any info would be great! Thanks

I was about to nominate NYC as a final summit location, but was happily surprised to see that it was on the list of cities already. Any idea when (do I dare ask where?) it will be?

Knowing my luck, it will take place when I'm at college...haha.

Denver summit is coming up!

Sadly, the closest one to me is the weekend before a major midterm and I have paper due. There may also be one other midterm in that week, too.

It's coming to denver! Yay! this outta be cool.

just saw the Denver date, major bummer man I'm in boot camp

The first Summit was fantastic! We had a group of incredibly engaged, enthusiastic participants and a huge turnout at the Cultural Event. It was amazing!

Hey there! Here's some more info about what is happening at the YN Summits:

* These YN Summits will provide an online and offline space for a creative community event aimed at grassroots action and movement building.
* Each Summit will consist of a 1.5 day conference and a Saturday night Cultural Event.
* The conference will employ a participant-driven facilitation structure to allow the participants the freedom to create projects according to interest and need.
* The goal of the conference is to engage local youth in the planning and implementation of at least 3 civic action projects per location.
* The purpose of the cultural event is to have fun celebrating the local culture of art and activism.
* Each Summit will be driven by local issues, tastes and culture to ensure that each event is accessible and relevant to everyone involved!

So how did the first summit go?

The address ynsummits@youthnoise.com is working now.

No worries, I believe they do confirm to make sure you want to register. I'll find out what going on with the address below and submit the new one when I have it.

So I was trying to find out more information about the YN summits, and on the register page there was a spot to sign in with your noise name, so I did and I think I ended up accidentally registering myself for the Orlando Summit. I am deeply sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused. Lo siento. It was an accident. Oh, and I tried emailing yall at the email address listed, and it was sent back to me, twice.

Except I've read that about 10 times, and it doesn't really answer many of the questions I've seen come up.

Unless more are answered when you click register?

Thanks for posting the link for those who have questions about the summit.

Hi Y'all,

You can find more info on the Youth Summits here:
http://www.youthnoise.com/summit/
...and you can email here: ynsummits@youthnoise.com if you have any questions.

Yeah, I would think that, especially here in the NY metropolitan region, that TV stations and newspapers would get on board with a program like this. In addition, there are huge corporations that make their home in the NY metropolitan region. Including, but not limited to, Mastercard Worldwide, IBM, Pepsico, Crystal Rock Water Company, Cadbury Schweppes...(these aren't even in NYC) and the list continues....

That still doesn't explain why there are so many in California. Something tells me they should have sought YNers to help find sponsors in other areas. Had they asked, I would have been more than happy to help.

What kind of assistance are we talking about?

From what I understand, because of limited resources areas for summits were chosen where assistance was offered.
