2011 NTEN Nonprofit Technology Conference – Day 3

This is the last day of NTEN’s Nonprofit Technology Conference (#NTC). It’s hard to believe that it has gone by so quickly.

The morning plenary speaker is Moira Gunn, host of TechNation with special guest Congresswoman Donna Edwards. The rest of the day is full of more sessions, the annual community celebration, and lots of great content.

Blackbaud TV will be doing live streaming of two sessions today:
