Instead of the 5-star system we've used in the past, this year you can only vote a session "Up" or "Down". If you work in a big office with lots of folks on a shared IP who are interested in the 2012 NTC, it may seem like the voting process is wonky; you'll essentially be changing the votes of one of your colleagues.

And, as you may know, every year, NTEN tries to raise $10,000 to send staffers from small nonprofits to the conference who otherwise couldn’t afford to attend. Every dollar is matched by Convio, allowing NTEN to send up to 57 people this year! Then you can view all the items donated to the 2011 NTC campaign.

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.

Technology is the unintuitive phone system, the frustrating donor management system, the computer that blue screens every time it has more than three windows open.

It's supposed to: when you change your vote from an "Up" to a "Down", for example, the system takes away your initial +1 (from your "Up" vote) and then tacks on the -1 (because now it's a "Down" vote), for a net change of -2 to the total vote. It makes sense, we promise. Only 1 vote is allowed per IP Address. Those are the basics.

Without a system to help track, organize, and mobilize their efforts on social media, nonprofits are letting key relationships fall through the cracks, losing potential donors and supporters. Social CRMs can be used on their own or can be integrated with your traditional CRM system. Come to our panel at the 2011 NTC !

The NTC is an event largely attended by Americans (and our gentle neighbors to the North). It's kind of hard to know if you're missing 100 name badges out of 2,000, so we clearly need a new system. Next year, we need a system where you can view your badge, make edits, and then get it printed right there on site.
