The following is the working agenda for the California Nonprofit Technology Watsonville on April 28 - 29, 2016.
- The agenda is designed with a combination of planned sessions and participant-driven discussions, and is very likely to evolve through the course of the event.
- There are no presentations or panels. The event will instead be focused instead on being fully interactive through collaborative sessions and focused dialogues.
