I think that the best thing that happened in 2012 was that some of the 2010-2011 "bleedng edge" conceptual technologies stood up and proved they weren't fads. When NTEN asked me to write a "best tech of 2012" post, I struggled a bit. Peter Campbell. Nonprofit Technologist. Techcafeteria.

The day before I set off for the Nonprofit Technology Conference in 2012, my boss back in Australia warned me: "Now, don''t you go falling in love with San Francisco and not come back.". Things I learned at NTC in 2012 were of immense benefit to my organization back home, and many of them I still use today in my work. March 13-15.

So, when I first came to NTEN in the summer of 2012, I was a little overly conscious of my underdeveloped technology muscles. When NTEN decided to step up our sustainability efforts earlier this year, we knew that we really wanted input from our members. We formed a Sustainability Committee comprised of member volunteers.

Will 2012 be pretty much like 2011? When NTEN asked whether I’d be willing to predict tech trends for in 2012, I, of course, asked my Magic 8 Ball™.
