One of the best parts of any conference is meeting people just like you. The folks who have been in your shoes can share your pain -- and some solutions!

We want to make it easy for you to find those people. Affinity Group Meetings will be organized on Sunday, April 26. Join a group to tackle a particular problem, or simply get together to gossip. What you do is up to you!

We've got 3 sessions of Affinity Group Meetings planned for April 26. Check them out:

• Affinity Groups I (8:30 am - 10:00 am)
• Affinity Groups II (10:30 am - 12:00 pm)
• Affinity Groups III (1:30 pm - 3:00 pm)

What is an Affinity Group?

By our definition, it's a group of people with a common interest or identity. An Affinity Group could be for nonprofit webmasters, people who work in hunger and homelessness, or people who are interested in blogging. NTEN hosts many Affinity Groups online and the in-person meetups are based on but not limited to our online Affinity Groups.

Who can organize an Affinity Group meeting?

Anyone can organize a meeting, and you don't have lead or participate in one of our online Affinity Groups, already. We do have a few caveats, however:

1. Affinity Group Meetings must be for non-commercial purposes
2. Priority will be given to existing online Affinity Groups
3. Affinity Group meeting space will be allocated at NTEN's discretion
