Connect. It's About WHO You Know

You'll learn a lot while you're in sessions at the NTC: when you're part of a community of peers, you've got a classroom, support group, and playhouse all rolled into one. We'll take great care to create lots of opportunities for you to meet your peers and build your community while you're at the NTC. Below are just some of the ways you'll be able to interact.

The Social Calendar

What kind of fun do you want to have?

Who ever said that networking couldn't be fun? Soon, you'll be able to let us know what kind of (legal) fun you want to have in New Orleans and we'll make it happen! As we get closer to the conference, we'll post a survey, event sign-ups, and a schedule.

NTEN's Affinity Groups [1] will be meeting in person throughout the conference. As a conference attendee, Affinity Group registrations [2] are free, and you can attend as many as you like. Check back in a few for the schedule.


Discussion Tables

Refuel your body AND your brain! Approximately half of the tables at lunch will be set aside for specific discussion topics. Sit down and make a new friend while discussing the joys of being a consultant, or the latest strategies in online fundraising.

NTC Lounge

Put your feet up and relax! There's another way to CONNECT with others when you take advantage of the NTC lounge, sponsored by Artez Interactive [3]. Snacks and wi-fi make this the perfect place to sit down for a one-on-one with a colleague or two.

After Party

Sure, talking about technology is fun, but sometimes you just have to get your party on. Salesforce Foundation [4] is going to help us make that happen. This year's event will be held at New Orleans legendary Tipitina's [5].  Check back soon for more details.

The Conference Within the Conference

Online discussions, note taking, and more

Disagree with what the plenary speaker is saying? Find out if others in the room agree with you! Throughout the conference, we'll provide you with opportunities to connect with your peers online. We'll have chat rooms, community note taking, and other ways for you to interact with your colleagues at the conference.
