Did you attend the 2026 Nonprofit Technology Conference (NTC) in Detroit? Come share what you learned! Didn’t make it this year? Come hear highlights, gather resources, and connect with others thinking about technology and the future of nonprofit work.
This month’s Portland Tech Club will be a community recap and discussion space. Folks who attended NTC are invited to share key takeaways, tools, frameworks, and ideas they found useful, and folks who couldn’t attend are welcome to come learn, ask questions, and join the conversation. All experience levels welcome.<div><div class="" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: start; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div class="flex justify-between gap-8 items-center my-4" style="margin-top: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem; display: flex;"></div></div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: start; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div style="">Agenda: <ul style=""><li style="margin-bottom: 9px;">6:00 - 6:15 - Doors open, room set up</li><li style="margin-bottom: 9px;">6:15 - 6:30 -  Welcome &amp; introductions</li><li style="margin-bottom: 9px;">6:30 - 7:30 - NTC highlights &amp; community share-out</li><li style="margin-bottom: 9px;">7:30 - 7:50 - Networking</li><li style="margin-bottom: 9px;">7:50 - 8:00 - Clean up</li></ul></div></div></div>
