15/07/2010 – The 2010 Lasa European Not-For Profit Technology Conference: Will The Cloud Save The Sector?
The 2010 Lasa European Not-For Profit Technology Conference: Will The Cloud Save The Sector? Opportunities for Efficiencies and Innovation will be held at the Garden Museum, next to Lambeth Palace, on 28 and 29 September.
This conference follows on from last year's discussions on surviving in tough economic time. With the recent announcements of 25% budget cuts (or more...) the not-for-profit sector will need to look at innovative technologies to help with the bottom line. There has been more and more emphasis on cloud technologies for contact management, document storage, collaboration, distributed working, media and networking. Is this the future? Or just a flash in the pan?
We are currently talking to potential speakers and facilitators but are hoping to run sessions on:
- Tools of the trade - the technologies
- Planning for the cloud
- Project management - can cloud help?
- Change Management - how do you do to prepare for outsourcing
- Supporting distributed organisations and homeworkers
- Accessibility and the cloud
- Data protection
- Learning in the cloud
- Volunteers and the cloud
The conference will be a mix of debate, formal and informal sessions, presentations and networking. We hope to arrange a social event at the end of the first day in a local hostelry.
More details are available on the UK Riders site but please note that details are subject to change and may be amended and updated as we confirm sessions.
