The program book has gone to print, the Miss Piggy costume has arrived, and the registration numbers keep rising. We're only 20 days away from the 2010 Nonprofit Technology Conference -- but who's counting?
Just like in past years, we'll be kicking off the 10NTC with the Science Fair. This opening reception provides an opportunity to network with nptech professionals while checking out the over 100 exhibitors showing off their latest and greatest offerings to the nonprofit sector.
Oh, and did we mention there will be prizes? Lots of prizes. We'll be raffling off an Apple iPad, solar cell phone chargers, a t-shirt that lights up when it detects a wi-fi signal (how convenient!) and a gaggle of books by nptech superstars. Just pick up one raffle ticket at each booth you visit -- the more raffle tickets you collect the more chances you'll have to win.
The Science Fair doors will open at 3 pm on April 8, 2010 at the OMNI Hotel in Atlanta.
Check out more awesome giveaways and highlights from a sampling of our exhibitors below. Oh, and just in case you want to plan your prize route, here's a map.
