NCT4G Conference
June 7, 8:00 am - 7:00 pm, Friday Center
The main conference includes morning and afternoon presentations, some selected by early online voting and some determined during the first Conference session. Select sessions you want to attend before coming to the conference, but keep your mind open to last-minute offerings. The keynote will be given by Amy Sample Ward. Also included are a buffet luncheon and a concluding wine & cheese reception, during which a number of door prizes will be awarded. (Note: Sponsors and conference organizers are exempt from prizes.) The cost of the Conference is $75 through May 31; $125 after.

How conference sessions will be determined:

• Session proposals were submitted through February 28, 2013.
• Folks voted for sessions they’d like to attend from March 1 - March 15.
• The preselected portion of the program.
• During the opening session, additional pitches will be taken for the Design-Your-Own session spots. Participants will vote and room assignments will be made for the selected sessions.

Things you should know:

• Check out the travel page for details about directions, parking, hotels, and area attractions.
• Meeting rooms can vary in temperature. You might want a sweater.
• Be sure to visit the exhibits. The sponsors allow us to keep registration fees low, and they want to show you the services they offer for nonprofits.
• If you post about the conference in your blog, send tweets, post photos or video, please use the tag "nct4g".
• For the reception, we'll have complimentary beer, wine, punch, some cheeses, and fruit with dip. Let's not have any cheese/fruit leftovers. The Friday Center closes at 7 p.m.
• Bring business cards. You're going to meet a lot of interesting people. And you'll want business cards for the drawing — we'll have some treasures to give away.
