Register today:
www.nten.org/ntc/precon/drupalDo you manage a website built in Drupal? Are you an Drupal power-user? Are you a software developer serving the nonprofit community? Are you an nonprofit IT decision-maker evaluating Drupal as a content management system?
If any of these categories apply to you, and you’re headed to this year’s Nonprofit Technology Conference, please consider joining us for the annual NTC Drupal Day for Nonprofit IT Professionals.
The content of this full-day event will be geared toward IT decision-makers who either currently manage, or are considering, the Drupal content management system. With this focus, this event will be applicable to Drupal professional service providers specializing in the nonprofit sector, in-house nonprofit software developers, Drupal power-users, and executive nonprofit staff responsible for managing website and web application procurement and maintenance.
This event is not a training on “How to build a website with Drupal.” This event is not a Drupal vendor or product spotlight. Rather, this is a hands-on opportunity for Drupal users in the NTEN community to:
- Increase dialog within the national community of Drupal professionals and IT decision-makers serving the nonprofit sector;
- Make connections between nonprofit IT professionals interested in different technical and process conversations that are active in the wider Drupal community;
- Expose the nonprofit IT community to the latest techniques, tools, and trends in Drupal development and site management; and,
- As one of the opening events at the NTC, start the conference off right!!!
As mentioned above, participation in this event is free, but registration is limited to 150 participants. We expect that interest in the event will be larger than that and that some folks won’t be able to attend, so if you want to come, please sign up asap. Also, if you do register for this event, we ask that you take this commitment seriously and plan to join us for the duration of the program.
