The Leading Change Summit is just 12 days away. This required us to start playing with some of the 14LCS thinking toys – we couldn''t resist!

Luckily, the NTEN Community is full of advice on places to go, things to do, dishes to eat, and how to navigate NTC like a pro.

Johanna Bates, Independent Consultant. As a web builder and tech consultant in a male-dominated field, this was far from news to me. After several years of " becoming a career nptechie " sessions at the NTC, I know I am not the only NTENer for whom this has been the case. But I don't think that's the only explanation.

There are some fabulous sessions proposed for the 2009 NTC , running the whole gamut of nonprofit technology, from planning to Web 2.0, That’s an interesting model, and, if the software is decent, sounds like it could be a good option for some organizations. But, of course, as with anything, look (a lot) before you leap.

But why not add another channel to the back channel happenings, for instance, at NTC ? IRC has always seemed to me to be one of the best ways to do that, but IRC is, well, passé these days, it seems. Sounds like a reasonable idea. But why don’t I sign up for a Twitter account, and, well, Twitter?

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. Why, you ask?
