The 8^th Annual NCTech4Good Conference held June 6-7 at The Solution Center in Durham was the best yet!

What folks liked:

• The camaraderie and networking with like-minded individuals.
• The stream of useful information and links to resources!
• Easy flow of the schedule on Tuesday–good combination of content and networking.
• The presenters had time to give in depth answers to questions from the audience, and that was “gold” for me.  How often do you get the opportunity to ask a professional in a certain field for specific advice for free?  And, the presenters and attendees generously shared their expertise.  I felt genuinely and warmly supported.
• The venue and location are top notch! And I appreciate there is a conference devoted to NP tech.

Presentation slides and shared attendee notes have been added to the session descriptions linked from the schedule.

Check out the posts made throughout the conference with photos and video assembled at Storify.

Don’t miss out on a great opportunity to develop your skills and expand your support network. Technology is constantly changing — NCTech4Good Conferences can help you keep your skills current.

From last year’s conference evaluations:

• The topics offered were very diverse and touched on a variety of np tech issues
• Practical info I can use every day
• The variety of the workshops was perfect, and though I’m a complete novice compared to many there, I never felt I ‘ought’ to know more
• Everyone in attendance was very welcoming, kind and energized to share!

Many nonprofits lack resources and training to make best use of technology. With the technology landscape changing rapidly, it’s hard to stay abreast of available tools and resources. With topics like leveraging free technology and maximizing your internet presence, the NCTech4Good Conference will help meet these issues head-on! Plus, our Unconference hybrid format let’s you pick topics that are most valuable to you.

Join us June 2-3, 2016 for the only nonprofit technology event of its kind in North Carolina to connect with fellow do-gooders to share ideas, resources, and solutions.

What a great conference! Such energy! Everyone seemed to have a good time learning and sharing and growing their networks. Posts on Instagram and Twitter throughout the day using the hashtag #15nct4g captured the Conference. Check out the Storify story!

What would you like to see at the next conference – what would you like to hear about and learn? What assistance does your nonprofit need? The core leadership team is planning the next conference, as well as monthly meetings, now. How can we help you do what you do even better?

Monthly meetings are the third Wednesday of the month, 6:30-8:30 p.m., usually at UNC-TV, and the next annual conference will be June 9-10, 2016, at the Friday Center in Chapel Hill. We hope to see you there!

I invite you to join me at the NCTech4Good Conference on June 4-5 in Chapel Hill.

This two day event is designed to help nonprofits use technology to advance the mission of their organizations. It encourages innovation in your organization, helps you solve technology challenges you face, and connects you to fellow do-gooders with whom you can share ideas, resources, and solutions.

The NCTech4Good Conference offers a fun, interactive environment with pre-selected presentations, as well as an unconference format that encourages participants to create sessions the day of the event to solve real-time needs.

In addition to our workshop facilitator and keynote speaker, Chris Tuttle of Idealware, we’re thrilled to have content-rich sessions on topics including, but limited to, communications, data visualization, Excel, social media, WordPress, and website development.

You’ll walk away with tools and information to solve technology problems you face in your daily work and you’ll have a network of do-gooders who are passionate about technology to help you.
