I look forward to the NTEN NTC (Nonprofit Technology Network's conference) every year. This is actually my first time officially speaking at NTC. Numbers-wise, the NTC is no Dreamforce. Bringing multiple communication channels in to a contact-centered model. This year, my 4th, promises to be the best yet.

Your gala event is a culmination of a year or more of relationship building, multi-channel outreach and face-to-face interaction, just like a social media fundraising campaign. I've heard that conversion rates to payment are sometimes not high, and there are few built-in incentives to continue giving or interacting. Why is this better?

When I hear folks talk about pushing their message out through social media channels, I cringe. To me, social media isn't a channel, it's a cocktail party , where different kinds of conversations require that you LISTEN. We won't need giant lists if we're really listening to and conversing with the stakeholders we CAN reach.
