The Nonprofit Technology Conference holds a special place in my heart and my calendar. This year, #15NTC brings the party to Austin, TX. Besides an agenda that's chock-full of fun parties, juicy sessions, and inspiring speakers, NTC is also a chance to reconnect with colleagues, meet other professionals, techies, and organizers in your movement and network.
Whether you need help gearing up to implement a new cloud software solution, you're experimenting with mobile messaging, or reviewing your online fundraising campaigns, NTC is a great opportunity to learn from others' experiences.
Here are a few of the events and sessions on my radar as I plan for 15NTC.

Many thanks to Peter Campbell for keeping this tradition alive! #NTCBeer, now in it's 7th year, will help kickoff NTC in a big bubbly way. RSVP on Facebook.
