Nonprofit Summit

Marsh Theatre

Come with a challenge, leave with a solution. The BADCamp Nonprofit Summit (NPS) is back in Berkeley for 2018 with even more opportunities for nonprofits and developers to collaborate, learn, and grow! 

We’ve got a full day of small-group breakout sessions, all led by nonprofit tech experts. Come to discover new tools and strategies, learn how to use them, and make contacts with other members of the Drupal nonprofit community.

One of the key features of the nonprofit summit is that we take an “unconference” approach followed up with an interactive workshop.

It’s the middle of the night and you’re awakened by a phone call. What could it be? You’re not on-call this week.

Diverse communities are strong communities, and Drupal is less diverse than it should be. Open source has the potential to transform society for the better, but we are currently missing out on much of that opportunity. We can make the Drupal project better by making the Drupal community a place where a wider range of people can participate and contribute their knowledge and skills.

Beyond Herding Cats: Lessons for Project Management in a Small Agency

Beginner
Bayview

I have found that most project management resources and education are geared towards large companies. Small agencies have their own specific challenges, and this is especially true for project managers.

That heart-attack-moment. Your client is freaking-out, right now; right in your face with a full-blown meltdown! At the end of it all they always ask that same question, "So what are you going to do about this!?..."
