Mifos sits at the crossroads of a number of different industries – financial inclusion and microfinance, financial cooperatives, credit unions, fintech, mobile banking, financial services, cloud computing, open source technology, electronic money, digital financial services, HFOSS (Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software). We attend events regularly to promote our mission, educate about our technology and identify new volunteers, customers, donors, and partners.

Having a comprehensive and up-to-date calendar is important for our staff to plan out what events to attend as well as to inform our community. Internally, we track these events via a Google Sheet and also publicize the ones relevant to the community on our public community calendar.

This task would involve updating our current calendar with the dates/times for events that we’ve participated in the past as well as researching and adding new events.

This task centers specifically on events related to financial inclusion and microfinance anywhere in the globe. Search terms you can use that are helpful include financial inclusion, microfinance, inclusive finance, microsavings. Often countries are held at national or regional level by associations.

Work to Do:

• Add new rows with relevant details for Financial Inclusion events to this Google Sheet- https://goo.gl/Ojsy9H
• Request Access to Public Mifos Community Calendar at http://mifos.org/resources/community/calendar and post relevant events to that Calendar as well
