This year’s Nonprofit Technology Conference, which last year drew more than 800 charity technology officials, consultants, and company representatives, will take place April 4-6 in Washington. The meeting, entitled “Reinventing Politics: Creating Social Change From the Group Up,” is organized by the Nonprofit Technology Network, in San Francisco.
During the first day of the conference, some participants will provide technology aid to 30 charities in and around Washington while others will meet with members of Congress and their staff members to discuss technology issues facing the nonprofit world.
Sessions at the conference will focus on topics like online fund raising, client-tracking software, disaster preparedness, text messaging, podcasting, municipal wireless networks, and online video use.
Following the conference, Penguin Day DC, on April 7, will bring together nonprofit leaders and programmers to discuss the opportunities and challenges involved in using free and open-source software.
The event is organized by Aspiration, a San Francisco nonprofit group that seeks to connect charities to good-quality, low-cost tools that help them do their work, the NonProfit Open Source Initiative, and PICnet, a consulting company in Washington.
