Mashable is excited to announce G-everyone, a 24-hour digital convening that will unite local groups around the world to discuss the pressing issues addressed at the G8 Summit.

Organized through Mashable’s Meetup Everywhere platform, G-everyone meetups will take place on the eve of the G8, a forum of the world's eight wealthiest Western countries. The goal of G-everyone is to make the G8 more accessible, and to brainstorm ways to solve the world's most challenging problems.

G-everyone will provide an open dialogue around the G8’s core themes of "Open Economies, Open Governments and Open Societies." Mashable will crowdsource the best ideas and thoughts from our community via Meetup Everywhere, and report back to the leaders at the G8.

The G-everyone conversation will happen during a 24-hour global meetup on Monday, June 10. To organize or attend a meetup, register on Mashable's Meetup Everywhere community. Every group will discuss the same three questions:

How can innovation stimulate your local economy?

How can technology make your government more open?

How can online communities help build healthier societies?

Answers will be shared through an exciting new community called +SocialGood. Participants can also share feedback via the #Geveryone hashtag on Twitter, Vine and Instagram.

We can't wait to hear how you plan to make a difference in your communities and around the world. Make sure to share with us what you accomplish so we can highlight the best ideas on Mashable.
