2009 NTC: Unleashing the Ultimate Cool Factor: Case Studies of Conferences Energized Through Social Media

On April 26th through April 28th, we held the 2009 Nonprofit Technology Conference in San Francisco.  We presented nearly 100 sessions, on topics ranging from virtualization to branding in social media.  We were lucky to partner with ReadyTalk to present 6 live simulcast sessions.  Here, we give you the audio from one of those sessions.  Full recordings with the slides are available for download at nten.org/ntc:
