Because information, communication and community are at the heart and soul of what nonprofit organisations do, information communication technology (ICT) plays an essential and pivotal role in connecting, engaging and delivering.  Whether it is gathering or distributing information, receiving or tracking donations, building community, gathering membership lists – all nonprofits need some level of technology.

Connecting Up 09 is bringing together leading experts and practitioners from the nonprofit sector to discuss the issues facing the nonprofit sector and share solutions.

With speakers, presenting across seven strands, we’ve tried to make it easy for you to focus on what is relevant for you. You can choose from the strands on the conference program to find out who is presenting and what they will be talking about. The strands include:

Jody Mahoney from the Anita Borg Institute in the US is a late addition to the program presenting a keynote on business development and fundraising and a breakout on Women in IT – Go Geek Girls!
