Are you a Nonprofit Using Technology for Event Planning?


The media wants to write a story about you!  This story explores what technology tools are available for planning and promoting nonprofit events. What tools are available?

Which work best? What do they cost? Which are the best bargains?  Which cost the least or nothing? I'm looking for experts, nonprofit leaders/staff, vendors and others with first-hand knowledge to quote in this article. Please email me complete comments with quote attribution and contact info. Thanks for your help! Our nonprofit readers also are thankful, I'm sure, for this information as they
try to survive a bad economy.
