As a live blogger, I'm here to make sure you get all the info you need -- straight from the N2Y3 conference. So here goes...

The NetSquared Y3 conference at Cisco kicked off this morning with Daniel Ben Horin, one of TechSoup's three CEOs, talking about the roots of the organization and one of the key players in its success.

Vince Stehle -- Program Officer of the Nonprofit Sector Support Program at the Surdna Foundation, a family foundation based in New York City -- has been at CompuMentor's side since the beginning. Stehle not only helped TechSoup in its infancy, but he's been involved in Net2 from the outset and gave funding to continue the work of the conference.

Big congratulations to Marnie Webb, TechSoup's Co-CEO, who was awarded The 2008 NTEN Award today at the Nonprofit Technology Conference in New Orleans. You can leave her a congratulatory message in the comments of this post, or on her blog, ext337.
