If you didn't have enough reasons to attend the 2012 Nonprofit Technology Conference, here's one more: the first ever Drupal Day for Nonprofit IT Professionals. 

ThinkShout is facilitating an NTC Drupal Day on April 3rd, 2012, the first day of the NTC. The content of this full-day event will be geared toward IT decision-makers who either currently manage, or are considering, the Drupal content management system.

We're closing in on our final transition to Communities of Practice here at NTEN and are so excited to be able to offer more free learning and networking opportunities for NTEN members and the NPTech community at large.

We have three new groups that recently transitioned and all are holding their first calls (also free for everyone) in the upcoming weeks. Check out the following CoP's and their upcoming events:

• The Nonprofit Technology Consultants CoP is a forum for nonprofit technology consultants to help facilitate frank discussion about working with nonprofit organizations. They're having their first call on Monday, September 26th. You can find out more and register here.
• The Drupal CoP is a group for those who want to talk about the joys and heartaches of developing, building, and/or maintaining websites in the open-source CMS, Drupal. The first call of the Drupal CoP will be on Wednesday, October 5th. You can find out more about this call and register here.
• The IT Directors CoP is for nonprofit IT or MIS Directors/Managers as well as CIOs and CTOs to connect with their peers and share best practices. The IT Directors will have their first call on Thursday, October 6th. Find out more and register here.
