With the new year comes another wave of amazing conferences for nonprofiteers and business leaders alike. We’ve researched many of these conferences, met with the people behind the scenes and were even able to attend a handful. We’re trying to do things not seen at any other nonprofit conference, and it’s been paying off.

In the nonprofit technology community, I’ve heard stories of cut backs on “nice to have&# items and expenses such as travel and training so that organizations can focus on their most critical goals first and cut back on what they deem not to be completely necessary. Airfare can be one of the pricier parts of getting to the NTC.
