I’m here at the 2012 Nonprofit Technology Conference in San Francisco this week and hope to share some brief nuggets. The conference got off to an exciting start this morning in a very unique way. It was a high energy, off beat and unique way to open a conference. Flickr Photo by The Inadvertent Gardener.
