A Very Merry Unconference To You

This post was originally supposed to be about the ASAE Technology Conference. We here at Beaconfire are big fans of the conference – attending, exhibiting, presenting – and we were once again looking forward to being a part of the expo and programming. But the recent (historic) weather in the DC area has forced the cancellation of this year’s event.

Fortunately for conference registrants and other interested parties, an intrepid band of volunteers led by Socialfish’s Maddie Grant and Lindy Dreyer, along with Omnipress, ThePort, NFi Studios, and Avectra, sprang into action and created UnTech10, the Technology Unconference. What is an unconference? It’s an informal, participant-led gathering to explore the topics that were going to be addressed in the official ASAE conference. Free to the nonprofit and association community, UnTech10 will feature live and virtual presentations from Technology Conference speakers. Beaconfire will be leading a session on using metrics to optimize your social media presence.

It’s unfortunate that the official event had to be canceled, but we encourage all of you who are a part of the nonprofit and association community to check out UnTech10, and participate as you can. It is open to all; you can register here, view the list of sessions, and follow the conference on Twitter using the #unTech10 tag.
