Sessions to Catch at the 2008 NTC
The 2008 Nonprofit Technology Conference kicks off in less than 3 weeks, and I'm stoked to finally be going. Not because it's in The Big Easy, but because I can't wait to rub elbows with some of the brightest stars of NP tech. The thought of meeting the tireless Beth Kanter in person is enough to send my geek-meter to DEFCON 1.

So, anticipation of an amazing event, here are 10 NTC sessions I don't want to miss:

  1. The Web 2.0 ROI: Are All These New Tools Really Delivering Value to the Sector?
  2. The Age of YouTube: Using Video Online to Reach the Masses
  3. Now You Have a Lot of User Generated Content: Tracking and Using It?
  4. Generation Y Meets Printing Press Law: Copyright Questions in the Digital Age
  5. BE the Media: Creating Your Own Channels for Educational Content
  6. Building, Growing, and Sustaining a Vibrant Online Community – How to Reach Beyond Traditional Tools into the Web 2.0 Sphere
  7. Evaluating Open Source Software
  8. Let Your Stakeholder's Mouse Do the Walking
  9. Mapping Disaster: How GIS and Other Mapping Technologies Make the Case for Aid
  10. The Ever Expanding Role of Mobile Devices

I'm really excited for the copyright, mapping, and mobile devices sessions. As content and the technologies that contain it become untethered by traditional means, these three issues will become even more necessary. 

What sessions are you hoping to attend?
