I am very excited to announce that we’re bringing even more trainings to Netroots Nation this year. Every year the conference offers dozens of hands-on trainings taught by experienced practitioners. This year we’re upping our game and piloting a Master Class program – a special training program focused on the specific tools that organizers use every day.
We’ve asked the tool providers to lead training sessions designed to help intermediate users become power users. Our goal is to help organizers like you become more efficient and effective.
The lineup includes sessions on the following tools. Click for full descriptions of each session.
