You'll learn a lot while you're in sessions at the NTC: when you're part of a community of peers, you've got a classroom, support group, and playhouse all rolled into one. We'll take great care to create lots of opportunities for you to meet your peers and build your community while you're at the NTC. Below are just some of the ways you'll be able to interact.

The NTC Social Scene

A key part of your success is who you know! We encourage you to engage on the social web and in the live social scene in Atlanta! Check out the all the ways to engage here!

Affinity Group Meetings

Looking to connect with other webmasters? Interested in meeting other nonprofit executive directors? Here's your chance! Many of NTEN's Affinity Groups will be meeting in person throughout the conference. As a conference attendee, Affinity Group registrations are free, and you can attend as many as you like. You can sign up to lead an Affinity Group now and Affinity Group meetings will be announced early-March.

Birds of a Feather Discussion Tables

Refuel your body AND your brain! Approximately half of the tables at lunch will be set aside for specific discussion topics on Friday, April 9. During the main lunch, you can lead or join a topic-specific table to meet new folks that share your interests and have stimulating conversation over lunch.

NTEN/GCN Member Lounge

Put your feet up and relax! There's another way to CONNECT with others when you take advantage of the NTEN/GCN member lounge. Snacks and wi-fi make this the perfect place to sit down for a one-on-one with a colleague or two.

After-Party

Talking about technology is fun, but you still have to get your party on. Salesforce.com Foundation and partners will make sure that happen with an amazing shin-dig after the second day of event on Friday, April 9 at The World of Coca-Cola. The party will start at 8 and you'll be able to check out the Coca-Cola exhibits as well as enjoy music and good conversation! Sign up when registering for the NTC or email sarah@nten.org if you would like to add the party to your registration.
