Each spring, NTEN's Nonprofit Technology Conference (NTC) presents leading research, case studies, and real world experience from the sector to provide participants with the strategies and skills they need to do even better work. Colleagues, collaborators, and clients will come together to learn from each other and from leaders in the field; and share information and resources.

The agenda planning process for this events is community-driven and open to everyone. You can comment on session proposals, suggest new sessions to help shape the agenda, and volunteer as a speaker or session designer. Here's how you can get involved!

1. Visit our Email Groups page and subscribe to the NTEN Discuss email group. Watch for announcements about the agenda planning process in early fall.
2. When the list of session proposals is sent out, vote for the sessions you'd like to see via an online survey. You can also use this survey to volunteer as a speaker or session designer, or propose any sessions you think are missing.
3. We'll use the survey results and input from our conference co-hosts and partners to determine the final agenda, which we'll announce to the NTEN list.
4. Session designers will be contacted by NTEN. NTEN will communicate the names of individuals who volunteered to speak at a session to the appropriate session designer.

That's all there is to it! We try to strike a balance between an efficient process that moves forward in a timely fashion, and a transparent process that provides everyone with an opportunity to participate.
