Donations were matched by Convio and with over $10,000 raised by the community, we had fun at the largest-attended NTC yet! NTEN is hoping to raise $10,000 from the nonprofit technology community again this year, and Convio is going to match those dollars to help get as many folks to #10NTC in Atlanta this April 8-10.
