**This year’s National Convention has once again proved a very valuable event for
many fundraisers and those who work with them. Some outstanding sessions and lots
of opportunities to network and meet up with friends old and new. It has also seen
a considerable growth in the use of social media to share resources, lessons learned
and views on the speakers and issues they presented.**

Twitter, blogs, Flickr, and YouTube have all been used by delegates, many of them
using smartphones. Indeed, the volume of material shared is so considerable that
it’s fair to say, social media is now a given at this key event in the fundraising
calendar. This change has of course come about very quickly: it was only two years
ago in 2008 that Jonathan Wadding (@jon_bedford) and I (@howardlake) were the two
lone Twitterers at the National Convention, showing how it could be used as a backchannel
and method of sharing conference material to the wider fundraising sector.

So, here is my effort at pulling together some of the resources produced and shared
at this year’s National Convention. I’ll update it no doubt when I find more, but
do add any more links or material that I’ve missed, using the comments section below.

## Blogs and live blogs

UK Fundraising’s front page, for the third year running, has featured a daily live
blog from the Convention. This aggregated the comments, twitter messages, photos,
videos and audio reports produced by dozens of delegates, and just as importantly,
many fundraisers taking part from around the world who could not attend the Convention
in London itself.

She added a postscript item that features the Avon breast cancer event video that
[Dan Pallotta](http://blogs.hbr.org/pallotta) [screened](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/#pallotta)
during his morning plenary, commenting “I think it is a perfect example of potentially
highly successful fundraising content one can place and position on-line”:

Jon Waddingham at JustGiving has published Digital insight from the #iofnc (IoF 
National Convention), a list of all of the digital track presentations that have
been shared via Slideshare, all of them embedded in the post, with a short summary
on each one.

Jon includes a nod to the attractive [Spell with Flickr](http://metaatem.net/words)
tool which lets you create images like this:

## Twitter

Most of the dynamic coverage of the Convention is happening on Twitter. Apart from
UK Fundraising’s live blog, which features almost all the tweets from or about the
Convention (plus more content), you can follow the discussions at #iofnc on Twitter.

Here are just a few recent examples:

> Thanks [@ajleon](https://twitter.com/ajleon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) Outstanding [#iofnc](https://twitter.com/hashtag/iofnc?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)
> session just now! Fun, inspiring, and full of really actionable ideas and tips.

A few days before the Convention I started gathering a list of [those who were Twittering about the Convention](http://twitter.com/howardlake/iofnc2010/members),
who said that they would do so at event, or whom I simply noticed using Twitter 
during the Convention. It’s certainly not comprehensive, but it might be useful.

## More…

The Institute of Fundraising’s Convention website included a suite of [aggregated content](http://blackbaud.nationalconvention.org.uk/)
in the run-up to and during the Convention.

**Blackbaud** had sponsored this facility to demonstrate the opportunities available
through its Netcommunity tool.

If that’s not enough and you’re around the IoF Convention at the end of today, there’s
a social nfptweetup, where you can meet with fundraisers with an interest in using
social media tools. It takes place in the bar, so expect friendly, helpful chat 
rather than presentations. You’ll [need to register](http://nfptweetupiofnc.eventbrite.com/)(
for free).
