The 2011 Nonprofit Technology Conference will take place on March 17-19, 2011 in Washington, DC. Part of what makes the NTC unique is how they involve the community in every aspect of conference planning. Mark Horvath will be joining me as well as backchannel of people from around the world – that ought to be fun!

I was in Washington, DC where I did a session on social media strategy for a convening of Packard Grantees. And that can be fun too! Many conferences have an intentional, overall social strategy to raise the profile of the conference or document the learning. Photo by Justin Benttinen. Retweeting is boring.

This is one of my favorite nptech conferences as it's always packed with three days of insightful panels and, of course, fun events like the annual #NTCBeer gathering and dance parties like the 80s Dance Party I'm co-hosting on Friday night.

We also offered workshops back at the conference location to handle the overflow demand. In 2007, we revamped the event so that volunteers no longer left the conference for the day and did two-hour strategy consults in the morning. These projects don't require deep technical expertise and are always a lot of fun.

Live-tweeting -- the kind of tweeting where you replay to your Twitter followers what people are saying at an event in real time -- is something that seems to be gaining popularity at conferences around the nonprofit circuit. It can be fun to do on your own (like at NTC 2011 ), but it can have real benefits for your organization too.
