To some, the word “technology” is titillating – it conjures up excitement and pumps adrenaline to the brain. But to others, “technology” elicits an uneasy feeling in the gut that makes them want to curl up on the couch with a blanket and a book. Exposure to too much of the geeky stuff causes them to just shut down.

In this session, Jay Wilkinson, founder and CEO of Firespring, will take businesses and nonprofits by the hand – regardless of your current geek IQ – and help you understand how each of us can benefit from the trends in technology. In just over an hour you’ll:

- Learn about eCommunities
- Discover how to use technology to get things done in your nonprofit or small business for less money
- Learn how your cell phone will change your life (if it hasn’t already)
- Understand how our children are being pre-programmed for the workplace of the future

This fascinating information is presented in a down to earth style by one of America’s top-rated speakers. If you haven’t caught Jay on CNN, MSNBC or at one of his keynotes at a national conference, you’ll want to be sure not to miss this engaging, informative session that will help you understand, in real terms, our “new reality.”
