NonProfit 2.0 UnConference and holiday discount

About Nonprofit 2.0
It’s a next generation conference in format. Ever attend a conference, for a keynote, and find the rest of the content to be wanting? NonProfit 2.0 delivers the best of both worlds, offering great keynote sessions led by Amanda Rose, Founder of Twestival, but in an unconference way with no PowerPoint, 15 minute leads, and open questions and dialogue for fantastic conversations. Then from midmorning forward, NonProfit 2.0 shifts into a full-on Unconference.
Who is invited?
Are you working in the nonprofit community? Are you a an online advocacy guru, a fundraiser, or grassroots organizer? Perhaps you manage a communications team and want to dive into social media but you're a little old school. This event is for you! We invite nonprofit staff and do-gooder consultants from a diverse array of fields to come join us at NonProfit 2.0. This includes people who work in:
- Online Advocacy and Outreach
- Grassroots Organizing
- Social Media
- Fundraising
- Communications
- Nonprofit Technology
- Nonprofit Consulting
- Public Affairs
- Programming
- and more.
What is an Unconference?*
Following the keynote sessions – at 10:30 AM we start with a blank wall and, in less than an hour, with a facilitator guiding the process attendees create a full day, multi-track conference agenda that is relevant and inspiring to everyone in the room. All are welcome to put forward presentations or propose conversations that you would like to have with others and:
- questions you want answered
- information you want to share/present
- a project you would like help on
As people register we will be posting proposed topics on our wiki.
What happens During Sessions?*
As sessions happen people volunteer to document the outcomes on a wiki (The notes of what was said is even better). Photos of any whiteboards are also important along with any slides that were presented.
End of the Day
At the end of the day everyone gathers in one place to share highlights of the day.

It'd be nice to see someone
It'd be nice to see someone from the EFF come to the next conference maybe an invite and pay for their room. They should definitely have members in DC who could come in even for the day or travel to the next one. The discount is nice wish I knew about it before registering maybe next year. Now i have to find some discount perfume for mothers day.
