• Differences between TechCoop and 501 Tech Club:
– 501 Tech Club-> nonprofits, nonprofit techies, tech volunteers -- the geeky stuff
– TechCoop-> participants are nonprofit technology service providers
• Groundspring has tech assessment tools online
• NetCorps would be interested in hosting another N-TEN regional conference
• NC Center for Nonprofits could help promote RTPnet conference
• Conference with multiple tracks is more attractive to sponsors and participants
