Nonprofit Technology Conference
Technology at the Conference
Technology wasn’t just the subject of conversation of the Nonprofit Technology Conference. It played a role in just about every aspect of the meeting.
People who wanted to pose a question to a plenary speaker had to submit them online. Other participants voted to determine which questions would be asked.
On Monday, the first day of sessions, 400 evaluations were submitted via text message, and participants sent 3,800 conference-related Twitter messages.
The volume of online activity was so high that for a period of time it brought down the hotel’s wireless network.
