Here are my sketchnotes from the 2013 Nonprofit Technology Conference. The sessions I drew include panels on:
- content marketing, led by Kivi Leroux Miller and featuringRobert Rosenthal and Brett Meyer (who’s with ThinkShout; I incorrectly tag him as an NTENner in these notes)
- mindfulness, led by Beth Kanter with assists from Jana Byington-Smith and yours truly
- supporter engagement strategy, led by Chris McCullough and featuring Sarah Francis and Loren Drummond (who started with a photo of marmots; I defy anyone to sketch that session without drawing a big honkin’ marmot)
- social metrics for organizational leaders, presented by Jamie Millard and Chris Oien
And then there were the keynotes:
- Beth Kanter’s panel on Placing Small Bets – which was both a thoughtful exploration of the power and limits of experimentation in the nonprofit world, and a great example of how panels can be more than the sum of their (mighty impressive) parts
- Dan Pallotta‘s Uncharitable, arguing that nonprofits are trapped in a paradigm of self-sacrifice and calling for charities to throw off the shackles of philanthropy as usual
It’s my favourite conference of the year… even if (see next cartoon) I spent an awful lot of this year’s edition in airports, waiting for the weather to clear.
