The NTC is the thing we plan for and look forward to all year long with excitement and wonder. What will the next year bring? Who will fall in love?

By 2011, American women surpassed men in gaining college degrees , including advanced degrees. I have noticed that a significant percentage, I daresay a majority, of the people attending the big annual Nonprofit Technology Conferences (NTC) have been women every year. It is one of the very few tech conferences where that is the case.
