Introducing The Nonprofit CRM Summit
The event is called the Nonprofit CRM Summit, and it is free August 1-12, 2016, available for purchase after. Yes, I just said free, and the tickets are available at www.nonprofitcrmsummit.com. It was organized by the fantastic Missy Longshore of Longshore Consulting. The speakers, me being one of them, are going to show you everything you need to know as a social change leader when it comes to starting and sustaining the simplest, most successful, and user friendly CRM possible. Obviously I focused on Salesforce and brought some interesting insights into how to configure a very simple program management application using best practices for app building using clicks and not code.
One of the coolest parts about this event - all of the speakers have never been together at one event before...and it can cost hundreds to thousands to see us all at live events. You can see all of them in one place for free – you don't even have to leave your house, and you can definitely watch in your pj's.
