Empowering the Charitable Sector with Interactive Technologies II

15th September, LBi London

Please join us for the 2011 Nonprofit Marketing Conference in DC, July 11-13.
The line-up is amazing, the presenters an incredible mix of nonprofit marketing experts.

Here are a few of the tech-related highlights:

Social Innovation Camp brings together ideas, people, and digital tools to build web-based solutions to social problems — from hacking together software to working out how you'd sustain an idea — all in just 48 hours.

Do you have an idea you want to work on? Or maybe a particular technical solution that could be used for good? Social Innovation Camp Internews in Sarajevo is looking for inspiring ideas and committed people. The call for submissions will be closed Wednesday, May 25, 2011.

Just after the Nonprofit Technology Conference in Washington another great event for all of the nonprofits and social justice activistsis is coming up on March the 20th. Penguin Day is designed to let nonprofits and social justice activists learn about free and open source software that can support their work and potentially save them money, including tools for web publishing, fundraising, blogging, and campaigning. Some sessions are already planned, but the organizers strongly encourage participants to request a session topic. Penguin Day DC 2011 is organized by Aspiration, PICnet, NOSI and CiviCRM.

The second annual NCTech4Good Conference, Technology Solutions for Nonprofits, is a two-day meeting that offers information, networking and social activities to staff, consultants and volunteers of North Carolina nonprofit and social service organizations, plus small businesses.

The meeting consists of a general opening session; three concurrent presentations at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels on "tools, emerging technologies and solutions"; exhibits of related products and services; a luncheon; and an early evening reception.

For 23 years, TechSoup Global has been working to build networks—networks of organizations that need technology support, networks of corporations that are willing to donate their products, networks of funders interested in building the capacity of civil society, and networks of technical volunteers. In the last six years, we have built two formal networks—one of more than 24,000 on-the-ground technology activists via our NetSquared initiative; and the other of capacity-building organizations, capable of delivering technology solutions to other NGOs in 35 countries around the world.

The Nonprofit Software Development Summit will take place in Oakland, California from Nov 15-17. It is a high-spirited, fully-interactive festival of folks who are passionate about developing software tools to support the work of social change organizations and community activists.
