Are technology projects a source of frustration, confusion, or excessive cost within your organization? Are you curious about whether you're following best practices and selecting the best tools as you apply technology in your programs and operations? Would you like to meet others solving similar problems and facing similar challenges?

Managing Nonprofit Technology Projects is an event series designed to help you better manage technology projects in your nonprofit or as a consultant to nonprofits. Idealware and Aspiration are hosting our second Nonprofit Technology Project Management event in Oakland, California on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 20th and 21st, 2008. The first event in New York was a big success, and sold out well in advance.

A detailed agenda for the event is now available at http://mntp.aspirationtech.org/index.php/Event_Agenda. The agenda will continue to evolve up to and during the event, as we dialog with participants and strive to meet specific needs in the domain of technology project management for nonprofits.

Informal, information-rich, discussion-based sessions will allow participants to compare processes, tools, successes, and lessons learned. We will discuss areas such as team collaboration, project planning, software selection, migration, and project roll-out, and map out the software tools – from project management packages to collaborative communication to issue tracking and more – that support successful technology projects.

We look forward to seeing you there!

This year’s NetSquared Conference will bring together a unique mix of people from the public and private sectors to develop and release Mashups designed to provide deeper insight into the social issues affecting communities around the globe. Highlighted will be the 21 Featured Projects voted on by the NetSquared community in round one of the Mashup Challenge.

If we’re successful, we’ll learn something about cross-sector collaboration, meet new and interesting people, and build unique Mashups that citizens, schools, and community-based groups everywhere can learn from, replicate, and build upon.

We have limited seats open to the public, so please register here.

A number of seats have also been set aside for our Sponsors, Engineers, Web Developers, etc. Please contact us if you belong in one of these categories.
