Selfie Sticks and Social Media at NC Tech 4 Good

NCT4G

There was a selfie-stick photo booth, a buffet of delicious snacks, and a raffle for free swag.

No, it wasn’t a dream… it was the 6th annual NC Tech 4 Good (NCT4G) conference.

On Thursday, June 4th and Friday, June 5th, industry professionals from nonprofits across the country came together for a two-day event promoting innovation and technology for nonprofit advancement. Over the course of the conference there were nearly 20 sessions ranging from “Opening This Email Could Change Your Life,” to “Wordpress SEO.”

BC/DC’s very own social media rockstar Dawn Crawford led one of the day’s most anticipated sessions: “Surround Sound Approach- Content Marketing for Non-Profits.” Attendees learned how to amplify their own genius through maximizing content reach and promoting shares via multiple platforms.

The NCT4G conference was a huge hit, not only for those in attendance, but also anyone participating on social media. Over the course of the event, 111 different people tweeted with the #15NCT4G hashtag more than 1,000 times in order to gain over 2 million impressions- wow!

One of the highlights from the event was the BC/DC rockstar photo booth. With a cell phone, selfie stick and some crazy props, attendees from the conference got to strut their stuff and learn more about the agency while doing it!

Until next year, we leave you with our favorites Rockstar Selfies.
