12 Sessions to Check Out at the NTC Conference

What an incredible line up of panels the folks at NTEN programmed for the 10th annual NTC - scheduled for April 8th - 10th in Atlanta. With so many informative panels to choose from (such as Diversifying Your Tech and Online Communications Teams by Frogloop bloggers Jocelyn Harmon and myself as well as Ivan Booth and Shireen Mitchell) on topics ranging from online fundraising, recruitment, and social media - it was a real challenge to come up with my top 12 picks. Have some favorite panels of your own? Let us know in the comments section.

For those of you in DC who can't make it to NTC this year, Care2 is hosting a remote viewing party on Friday, April 9th. Click here to RSVP.
