Over four energizing days, the NTC brings together thousands of nonprofit professionals who care about using technology to create real change. You’ll take part in inspiring keynotes, hands-on sessions, and fun networking events, that spark new ideas and connections.
Whether you’re focused on nonprofit leadership, IT systems, communications, or program delivery, you’ll leave the NTC with practical skills, fresh perspectives, and a renewed sense of purpose — surrounded by a community that shares your values.
Keynotes
Our 26NTC keynote speakers are powerful thinkers and practitioners who will talk about technology, politics, and social impact. They are:
Anil Dash – Technology entrepreneur and writer, whose venerable personal blog has been cited over the last 25 years by everyone from sitting U.S. Senators to hundreds of academic papers to TMZ.
Kelle DeBoth Foust – Occupational therapy scholar and practitioner of public interest technology for accessibility and health outcomes for people with disabilities.
Sylvester Johnson – CEO and co-founder of the Corporation for Public Interest Technology, who is also a Black Studies scholar whose research examines religion, race, and empire; religion and sexuality; and the impact of AI technologies on human identity.
Sasha Costanza-Chock – Researcher, designer and the author of Design Justice. They work to support community-led processes that build shared power, dismantle the matrix of domination, and advance ecological survival.
Connect + collaborate
Connection doesn’t just happen in sessions. From community-led gatherings to partner-hosted spaces and evening dine-arounds, these events are designed to help you meet collaborators, deepen conversations, and move ideas forward. Sign up for Birds of a feather, Dine-around dinners, or Attendee-led events.
Also learn about the Collective Action Room, Public Interest Technology Lounge, and Security Lounge in our partner-led spaces.
Sessions
We’re excited to offer more than 180 sessions across both the in-person and virtual NTC experience! Sessions will be listed as speakers confirm their participation, so check the Sessions page often as the list continues to grow.
When the conference platform launches in February, you’ll be able to build your personalized schedule and bookmark the sessions you don’t want to miss.
The NTC program is built by and for the community, featuring a wide range of topics — from leadership and communications to IT, fundraising, equity, and program delivery. Sessions are offered in multiple formats, from hands-on workshops to fast-paced talks, so you can choose how you want to learn and engage.
