In that window of opportunity, I snagged an invite from NTEN’s Amy Sample Ward and have spent the last day playing around with it in between other projects. There are lots of organized networking opportunities. Those side connections are not technically part of NTC, but for me it’s an essential part of the conference.

My favorite part of the NTC is getting to sit down, in person, with so many different people and learn about their work. There are really amazing things emerging and growing in our sector and the more we talk about what we are doing with others interested in weaving the network, the more collaborations emerge and more impact can be made.

The State of Nonprofit Data report was released this week (hat tip to Ted Fickes ). Idealware and NTEN prepared the report based on a survey in April 2012 with nearly 400 nonprofit organizations about how they manage and use data. The report found that nonprofits are either doing a lot with their metrics or not much at all.

About the 15NTC For many, the NTC is like a family reunion of close nonprofit peers, as well as a meeting place for new friends. Together, it''s a space to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and gain insight through valuable networking. We encourage you to apply for a scholarship ! We understand — oh, do we understand!

It’s hard to believe that the 2012 NTC is a wrap. As Holly wrote in the #NTCFail blog post outlining the things that didn’t go as planned at the event, we value being open and accountable at NTEN. But we also want to share the things that were awesome, the pieces of the NTC that we feel pretty good about at the end of the day.
