The Nonprofit Technology Network (NTEN) holds a national conference each year, aptly named the Nonprofit Technology Conference. The NTC hits DC next year, and EchoDitto will be there when it does. The conference represents a great opportunity to embrace and discuss new technologies and strategies for utilizing those technologies to further organizational goals.

Experimenting with new technologies and building innovative engagement strategies? Now that sounds right up EchoDitto's alley! It's no surprise that some of our Dittos, as well as some of our partners, have developed and submitted ideas for possible discussion panels at next year's NTC.

This year, NTEN has received over 400 panel submissions, so in order to narrow the list down and give conference goers an opportunity to weigh in on the selection process, you can now vote for panels at the NTEN website.

While we believe everyone should go through and give every submitted panel a rating, that may not be possible (there's over 400!). With that said, we have compiled a list of panels we'd like to see there. Some of these have been submitted by or in collaboration with Dittos, but many are from friends and partners. All, we believe, will provide for some excellent conversation!

So take a look and let us and NTEN know what you'd like to see at next year's conference! Each panel has a dedicated page for information and voting. Click on the link below each session title, scroll down to the five star voting tool, and make your selection!

What are you waiting for? Vote and spread the word!

Voting ends on Thursday, September 30th!
