Connecting Up provides info about current trends in technology and gives pointers about using them to help us do the things we’re passionate about.
You can see the program details here.
This is a conference for practical, down-to-earth people working with limited resources to manage their staff, connect to their customers, raise money and the many other challenges in the not-for-profit world.
Two very creative and informative nonprofit technology leaders from the US will speak:
- Holly Ross from Nonprofit Technology Network NTEN
- Allen ‘Gunner’ Gunn from AspirationTech
Each will deliver a keynote address during the conference and they will combine their considerable talents in a highly interactive workshop on Friday 3 June.
Over 40 speakers and workshop leaders will cover subjects as diverse as social media, remote working, fund-raising, managing technology risks, communicating with your communities and much more.

Hmmm…seems unnecessarily cost prohibitive to me. If it was me I’d be finding myself some sponsors and dropping the fees for everything about 75% of what I’m seeing there.
I would also choose a different, more relaxed, more down to earth and unpretentious venue ( and cheaper )
Social media, new technologies etc aren’t THAT difficult to pick up from scratch.
Each to their own I guess.
