The Nonprofit Technology Conference will take place April 26-28 in San Francisco. Last year’s meeting drew more than 1,100 charity technology officials, consultants, and company representatives.
Sessions at the conference — which is organized by the Nonprofit Technology Network — will focus on topics like fund raising on mobile phones, nonprofit technology careers, ways to attract new online donors, measuring the effectiveness of social-media efforts, and creating podcasts.
Clay Shirky — author of Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations, a book that looks at how people are using new technologies to organize in nontraditional ways — is among the scheduled speakers.
Eben Moglen, founder of the Software Freedom Law Center, also plans to talk at the event.
Before the conference, Penguin Day San Francisco, on April 25, will bring together nonprofit leaders and computer programmers to discuss the opportunities and challenges involved in using free and open-source software. The name is a nod to Linux, one of the early companies to adopt the free-software model, and its penguin mascot.
