Our recent mini-conference, TechSoup's TechTips Digest, featured lightning-fast talks that concentrated a normal one hour's worth of material into 20 minutes, so attendees only got the good bits. Did you miss it? Not to worry — we've rounded up all the events so you can check them out at your leisure.
The conference sourced our experts from TechSoup's community of local #Tech4Good meetups called NetSquared. Topics included tactics for creating more content, tips for crowdfunding campaigns, productivity tools for nonprofits, and more.
Editor's note: NetSquared is now called TechSoup Connect.
With three simultaneous rooms, attendees had to make hard decisions about which speaker to see — but not you, the reader of this blog. Set aside some time to check out as many of the sessions as you want, at whatever pace is best for you. Enjoy!
