It’s like listening in on your smart friends talking about stuff you need to know about but don’t know who to ask. We’ve gathered our senior experts in one place – ask them your questions at registration or live during this webinar 2025 nonprofit tech round table.
Kick off the new year with a new understanding of trends and practices that can help your nonprofit succeed. This is one of our most popular webinars and podcasts year after year for a reason. We don’t believe a lot of lingo or jargon is necessary to understand what you need to know to manage IT.
As with all our webinars, this presentation is appropriate for an audience of varied IT experience.
Community IT is proudly vendor-agnostic and our webinars cover a range of topics and discussions. Webinars are never a sales pitch, always a way to share our knowledge with our community.
Many questions asked at registration or live at the virtual event will be answered in the transcript. Check back and get some expert insight in this webinar nonprofit tech round table.
