Cartoon-blogging at NTC 2012

by | Apr 6, 2012 | Social Signal

Session notes from Dr. Changelove at #12NTCIt was another great Nonprofit Technology Conference, my second in San Francisco… and my second cartoon-blogging outing for my friends at NTEN.

This time around, the good folks at Rally – a social fundraising platform, and the folks behind a very cool workspace – sponsored the graphic recording effort.

Which meant there were not one but two pens flying during various keynotes and breakout sessions. My colleague was the amazing Kate Rutter, who manages to combine detail, structure and composition in ways that amaze me. You can see the results of our work here.

I’m pulling together the last of my cartoon-blog images, and I’ll post them here soon. But in the meantime, here are the cartoons I drew from the floor of the conference. They include my notes from the session on social media policy, led by Idealware’s Andrea Berry and Darim’s Lisa Colton and centered around their free social media policy workbook.

Help write the agenda for the 2010 Nonprofit Technology Conference

by | Oct 5, 2009 | Social Signal

SXSW isn’t the only fabulous event whose agenda is partly shaped by audience input. NTEN, the Nonprofit Technology Network, will hold its annual conference next April in Atlanta, Georgia… and they’d like you to help them figure out what sessions to offer.

Head on over here for a list of candidates, and start a-clickin’. And if you’d like to leave comments – suggestions, questions, thinly-veiled requests to be included on the panel – just click on the session title.

As with SXSW, public voting counts for 33% of the final score in deciding which sessions make the grade. (Why only a one-third voice instead of having the community vote carry the day? Because, as the FAQ; points out, “If we did it that way, we’d have 40 sessions on social media, 30 on websites, and a score on e-mail. Yes, we’re ‘How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?’ folks”.)

While the deadline for session submissions was September 21, if you’ve had an idea that’s just mind-blowingly fantastic, you can try to talk them into adding it to the 228-submission-long ballot… they’re kind and generous people.

Voting wraps up on October 16, and they’re adopting a strict one-IP-address, one-vote rule to prevent overenthusiasm from skewing the results. So start voting!

(We have two sessions in that list, by the way: Building your social media team and Planning for online engagement – if you think they’d be helpful, we’d love your support!)
