PDXTech4Good

PDXTech4Good brings together nonprofit staffers, techies, and activists to talk about the connections between technology and social change. Past events have included a panel discussion on CRMs for nonprofits, improving nonprofit donation pages, using social media for social change, and managing volunteers with mobile technology. Our events average 40-75 attendees, depending on the topic and venue.

PDXTech4Good is a volunteer-run, jointNonprofit Technology Network 501 Tech Club and TechSoup's NetSquared Local group. All of our events are free and open to the public.

• Nonprofit staffers will find a friendly, welcoming atmosphere for those not experienced with technology, and many chances to ask questions of tech-experienced nonprofits and experts.

• Techies will find opportunities to hear the real-world stories of nonprofit clients, and put their own expertise to social good — as well as the potential for lasting relationships (be they paid or volunteer) with leading organizations in our community.

• Activists and community organizers will see and be given the chance to present on successful uses of technology for social change. We'll explore how technology can help support activism and where activism can push it forward.
