NTEN, the Nonprofit Technology Network, puts on a massive, be-there-or-be-square conference for nonprofit professionals every year (in 2009, we met in San Francisco). But, if you don’t want to wait until April to dive into the knowledge and expertise in the NTEN network, you don’t have to!

A close read of the lyrics provides a good framework for thinking about communicating horizontally (across departments or silos) and vertically (with everyone from senior management to interns) in your organization about technology. In many organizations, technology is viewed as separate from the work the organization is doing.

I was disappointed when it was announced that the NTEN NTC would be in San Francisco this year. The NTC is the nonprofit technology conference. I though the NTC would be out of my reach. And then my friends at Convio got together with the good folks at NTEN and did something wonderful. It will be worth it.

After Jason Shim won the 2014 NTEN Award in March, I thought I’d have a look to see why Amy Sample Ward and company thought so highly of him. One thing I’ve noticed about the NTEN award winners is their restless knowledge sharing in an array of subjects all over the place – not just in their own organizations.

It’s hard to believe that the 2012 NTC is a wrap. As Holly wrote in the #NTCFail blog post outlining the things that didn’t go as planned at the event, we value being open and accountable at NTEN. But we also want to share the things that were awesome, the pieces of the NTC that we feel pretty good about at the end of the day.
