I love NTC (NTEN’s Nonprofit Technology Conference). I would be dishonest if I said I didn’t have a sweet reminiscence for the Circiut Rider Roundups of old. But they are long gone. As fields often do, ours grew up and professionalized. And what has taken it’s place is valuable to a much wider audience (and a much larger one!) And, this year, for the very first time, I live in the same city in which NTC is taking place. Hurrah!
So, a few things to say about what I’m looking forward to from April 25th to April 30th:
- April 25: Penguin Day SF! It’s happening the day before NTC this year, not the day after. Gather with folks and spend an exciting day peer-sharing about free and open source software in nonprofit organizations. Any level of background in the topic is welcome, and everyone learns.
- April 26-28: NTC. Another jam packed year full of great panels and expertise sharing. I’ll be involved in two panels this year. (And lots of conversations on the side.)
- April 29-30: Hopefully, there will be a CiviCRM developer camp. Yay! I’ve been using CiviCRM for a year or so, and have begun to get involved in implementation. Looking forward to digging deeper in.
And email me if you want to have coffee, or lunch, or a side conversation in the Science Fair.
And, you can help folks get to NTC!

Thanks for helping spread the word about the NTC scholarship, Michelle. Looking forward to hearing you speak and seeing you at this year’s conference!
Looking forward to seeing you and many others this year after selflessly and foolishly encouraging colleagues to go while I stayed home from NOLA last year. Though the NY Project Management gig was great, and is basically what I did instead. It will actually be my first trip to CA ever. Penguin Day is tempting, but I’m thinking I’ll fly early-ish on Saturday and make the latter half of that day some tourism. Maybe I can catch up with some Penguins for the dining and imbibing portion of the festivities. Hoping I can get wifi in Linux working in my personal laptop before I come…
Hi, Michelle, I’d love to get more info about Penguin Day in SF! (I live in the SF area.)
Can you send a bit more info? Thanks!
