I was disappointed when it was announced that the NTEN NTC would be in San Francisco this year. The NTC is the nonprofit technology conference. I though the NTC would be out of my reach. They’re offering NTC scholarships! I loved it last year in New Orleans. It will be worth it. Want to help? Why Salesforce?
