Nearly 1200 people working in nonprofits and technology will come together from around the world for the 2009 Nonprofit Technology Conference in San Francisco, April 26-28, 2009.

More than ever, technology is helping nonprofits tap into and build communities to create social change. Now, more than ever, our stakeholders are able to connect, share, and act on our behalf from around the globe or around the corner.

At this NTC, we’ll pay special attention to the tools and strategies that are reshaping how we go about doing our work, by empowering our clients and stakeholders.

The full agenda for the conference includes an impressive program of breakout sessions, with something for every nonprofit. Smaller organizations who are just starting to establish a presence on the Internet may be especially interested in these:
