We’re one month out from NTEN’s annual Nonprofit Technology Conference (NTC) in Washington, DC. Last year was my inaugural year attending NTC, and within a few hours of landing in snowy Minneapolis, I was meeting hundreds of nptechies at the pre-conference party, #NTCBeer. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of that?
