Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for attending NetSquared DC's Crafting Amazing Stories Tuesday night!

by Roshani Kothari and Heather Ratcliff (co-organizers of NetSquared DC)

I’m going to tell you about a conference I attended in June — why it was so awesome and how you can make the most out of upcoming conferences. 

The NCTech4Good Conference was one of the best conferences, if not the best, I’ve ever attended. First, let’s get some logistics out of the way. 

• The NCTech4Good Conference is organized annually by NCTech4Good. 
• NC stands for North Carolina, where the group is based. 
• NCTech4Good is part of NetSquared and NTEN, organizations that bring together nonprofit technologists locally to share best practices and support each other's work. NCTech4Good also holds monthly meetups in North Carolina. 

How are organizations leveraging mobile for communications, outreach and more? What are the best practices for creating mobile responsive websites? When does it make sense for organizations to create a mobile app? When should organizations design a mobile site on the side if they don't have money for a full redesign?

NetSquared DC invited several local experts to participate in its recent panel. Here are their slides!
