This is the annual gathering of people who want to make the world a better place through the skillful and equitable use of technology. At the NTC, you'll learn essential nonprofit technology best practices while connecting with a community that shares your commitment to social change.
To put technology to use for your mission, you need to invest in your personal capacity to do the work. The NTC has something for people in all roles, from those brand new to their job to expert practitioners.
• Community flourishes
You’re likely to make long-lasting friendships, meet new mentors, and network with valuable partners. There are many spaces to connect in whatever ways you’re comfortable engaging with others.
• Knowledge grows
Sessions are just the beginning of the learning opportunities. The program includes formal educational content as well as informal opportunities to share ideas, resources, and experiences with other attendees.
• Equity triumphs
To dismantle inequities in nonprofit technology, we must prioritize equity throughout our community. This shows up in everything from the conference’s racial affinity spaces to our focus on accessibility.
• Inspiration spreads
Our missions and movements are so important, but doing the work day in and day out can be challenging. That’s why we take time to reflect and get reenergized through the NTC’s amazing keynotes, spaces for reflection, and more.
Sustainability commitment
Events create a large environmental footprint. NTEN believes in creating sustainable events by incorporating socially and environmentally responsible decision-making into the event planning, implementation, and participation.
Our event sustainability efforts include:
• A convention center with waste diversion programs, LEED Platinum certification, access to public transit, and more.
• Donation of any reusable items to local nonprofits.
• Hotels that use sustainable practices.
• Swag that, whenever possible, is sustainably-made, union-made, and made in the USA.
• Local vendors, especially ones owned by people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, or women.
• Signage materials that are sustainable and recyclable.
• Information to encourage sustainable practices in the sponsor and exhibitor guide.
