Well, the Nonprofit Technology Conference is an amazing experience every year: people from all kinds of organizations, all kinds of backgrounds, and with all kinds of passion, joining together to talk about how we can use technology to make even more social impact – it’s just my kind of community! It’s not too late!

The consultants I work with are progressive. Because I come from the nonprofit world, where women and men are both valued and seen as rock stars in their roles spearheading online communications programs in online advocacy, online fundraising and social media. In the nonprofit-driven circuit, panels are often gender balanced.

There are more than a few things to do at the Nonprofit Technology Conference. Since I started working on the NTC -- and its predecessor, the RoundUp -- almost a decade ago, my very favorite part has been the Day of Service. It's simple: We work with fabulous local hosts to recruit NTC-area orgs who need some help. Atlanta, Inc.

These sponsors are taking a sustainable approach to sponsoring the NTC and have opted out of printing their promotional materials to be more sustainable. We''re happy to have them as part of the NTC, and as a partner to help reduce the waste and carbon emissions that go along with putting on this event.
