Where in the World Is Marion?

Over the next two months I have a busy schedule which includes some events that you may be interested in. Here are the highlights and registration information.



March 16 –19   Nonprofit Technology Conference, Washington, DC
Almost 2000 people will gather to discuss “everything nonprofit tech” in action packed day and night activities. I’ll be at workshops on blogging, social media, marketing, online giving, and more. I also signed up for a special storytelling workshop and I will be part of the storytelling team reporting on the conference. If you are on twitter you can follow the hashtag #11NTC for commentary and updates on all the conference happenings. Or follow @MarionConway – I’ll be reporting starting Wednesday night.

I know lots of nonprofit technology experts and I am looking forward to this once a year event to see each other in person and also the opportunity to meet new people.

April 5th     Sax, Macy & Fromm Fist to Five Lecture Series
I have been attending and blogging about these events for the last two years. The emcee host, Todd Polyniak, is a partner at this accounting firm and these programs for nonprofits are very well attended. The topic is Branding for Nonprofits and the program will be held in Clifton, NJ. If you are interested in attending you should contact Danielle Atkinson at (973) 472-6250. I’ll be blogging about the program after the event. One of my favorite articles on one of these forums is:
