The following is the working agenda for the California Nonprofit Technology Leadership Summit on July 30 - 31, 2015 near Bakersfield, California.

  • The agenda is designed with a combination of planned sessions and participant-driven discussions, and is likely to evolve through the course of the event.
  • The sessions will be highly interactive. There will not be any presentations or panels, but instead a range of collaborative and focused dialogues.
  • The goal is to enable peer learning, address participant needs and questions, and surface both the tacit and active knowledge of this group of practitioners. Bring your stories, your ideas, your questions, and your knowledge to share!

We'd love to hear what you are thinking. If there is a session or discussion you would like to facilitate, feel free to be in touch with us.

Session times will change, session titles will morph, new sessions will come and existing ones will go. But this is the latest we know, and we invite your feedback and contributions.
