The Science Fair is an opportunity for companies and organizations that provide technology services to the nonprofit sector to show off their latest and greatest offerings to everyone attending the Nonprofit Technology Conference. This marketplace of ideas is filled with simultaneous presentations and hands-on demos, and includes the conference's Opening Reception, so we hope you don't miss it!

NTEN will conduct a special drawing at the Science Fair. You could win one of several great prizes, like an iPod or Seagate 5 gig portable drive, but you have to be present to win! 

For the first time in NTEN history, the Science Fair is SOLD OUT!  This means we have over 75 exhibits for you to check out at the 2008 NTC!  

Why do we call it the Science Fair?

The Science Fair isn't like a typical conference exhibit hall. Instead of running throughout the entire conference - and competing with everything else on the agenda - the Science Fair takes place only on the first day of the NTC, and it's the sole focus of the conference at that time. It's also the setting for the conference's Opening Reception. As a result, the room is full from start to finish, so come prepared to talk to dozens of exhibitors and meet hundreds of conference attendees. Reflecting this event's unique nature, we call it the "Science Fair" so that everyone realizes it's an integral part of the NTC and not just another boring exhibit hall!

The Science Fair will be held on Wednesday, March 19, Day One of the 2008 NTC, from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Exhibitors can begin setting up at 12 noon.
