Another great panel this morning! Came in late so bagels were gone, but still bacon for breakfast. Sold out crowd and Mykl even gave up his chair behind the tech desk for me. Very cool to see live streaming done with a smart phone and to hear about cutting edges of social media use for non-profit organizations. NPO’s will never have the tech investments as for-profits, but can still benefit from same methods applied to a different mission.
