NetSquared organizers bring together the nonprofit technology community for face-to-face meetings… but we all know that meetings are boring! Admit it, you sometimes dread going to those all-staff assemblies. Luckily for you our Net2 planners are a creative bunch. Their “meetings” come in diverse and innovative formats like Philadelphia’s Crowdsourcing Change, Vancouver’s Coffee Klatsch or a Happy Hour in Austin or Minneapolis.

Don’t be afraid! Find your local #nptech tribe by joining a NetSquared Local group.
