Tickets are now available for this years Nonprofit 2.0 Unconference! Last year was a lot of fun (Captico was a sponsor) and this year promises to be even better! So get your tickets for the June 3rd event today!

“NonProfit 2.0 is more than just a conference on the next generation web. It’s a next generation conference in format. Ever attend a conference for a keynote, and find the rest of the content to be wanting? NonProfit 2.0 delivers the best of both worlds — offering great keynote sessions led by Robert Wolfe, Co-Founder of Crowdrise, and Stacey Monk, Executive Director, Epic Change — but in an unconference way with with no PowerPoint. Instead Nonprofit 2.0 will focus on open questions and dialogue for fantastic conversations . Then from midmorning forward, NonProfit 2.0 shifts into a full-on Unconference.”

TechNet’s Rey Ramsey and Twitter’s Biz Stone invite you to the launch of TechNet’s new nonprofit: ConvergeUS – Working With Tech. Winning With Tech.

ConvergeUS’ founding board members Rey Ramsey (TechNet) and Biz Stone (co-founder of Twitter) will provide their vision for a new age of tech sector collaboration. They will also preside over a town hall featuring questions from the live and virtual audiences, moderated by Andrew McLaughlin, former White House Deputy CTO.

Tech Cocktail has been hosting mixer events and writing about technology start-ups and entrepreneurs across the country since 2006.

They are aimed at helping build and strengthen local tech start-up communities both online and off.

Yesterday marked the inaugural “What’s Next DC – Your Marketing Communications Roadmap” Conference. Marketers, PR Specialists, Web Development Companies, Technology Experts, Associations, Government Organizations, Social Media Addicts, and more converged on George Washington University in Washington, DC to listen, learn, share, and network. Whats Next, the brainchild of Tod Plotkin of Green Buzz Agency in Arlington, VA, was born of Plotkin’s frustration with the fluff and sales pitch-iness of typical events, and so he set out to create something different. His goal was to keep people engaged constantly with good information and make sure they got any questions answered that day. While not quite an “unconference” like Nonprofit 2.0, it was a veritable assault of information lined up with no breaks (except for a quick lunch) in short bursts with scheduled “niche conversations” and “floating experts” on the side. Captico sent 3 emissaries: our Lead Developer, Todd Fisher; a Project Manager, Bob Wolfe; and New Media Coordinator, Corrie Davidson (me).

Yesterday I joined my fellow Captico mates on a trip down to DC to attend the What’s Next DC? Conference. Overall the event was a good one – my applause to Green Buzz Agency and other’s that helped to put the event together.

Tomorrow several members of the Captico Team will be joining social media, new media, and technology experts from across the country (and perhaps the world!) for the “What’s Next DC” Conference in Washington, DC. The event promises to be jam-packed full of real data, case studies, real experts (no fluffy “gurus” here), networking opportunities and roving discussions.

DCWEEK has finally come to an end for creatives in the Nation’s Capital and now its time to recap the bits of knowledge gleaned by roving reporter yours truly.

It took place from June 11th to June 20th, 2010 in venues across the city with the mission of strengthening the capital region’s digital economy via events focused on creativity, technology, entrepreneurship, marketing, content creation, and innovation.
