Where's Kintera?

12:50 PM Feb 16, 2007

There's a conspicuous absence from the sponsorship credits at the NTEN Nonprofit Technology Conference home page I stumbled upon in preparing yesterday's low-key upcoming events post. A dependable occupant of the conference's logo rolls the past few years, it's nowhere to be found in 2007. It's a fact of no special importance on its own (except perhaps to NTEN!), but easily read as another milepost in the struggling firm's departure from the data management and CRM universe of rank-and-file nonprofits. Naturally said reading is utter speculation; we have no special insight into this from either side of the [non-]transaction. It also just happens to vindicate with specificity an offhanded prediction made waaaaaaaaay back when this here blog was a mere zygote:

...don't be surprised if that Gold Sponsor line on the program book cover of your favorite nonprofit tech event has a different occupant next time around.

Well, okay, it took an extra year. Who are we to judge?

Let me reply in a more earnest vein: I should have contacted you first. I apologize for that, and appreciate your response here. The logistical gymnastics involved in putting on an event of this scale are not to be envied.

Having said that, it's still interesting, inasmuch as all the other big CRM vendors are already in the house.

what is this, journalism?

Hi Jason -- Somehow you are not approving my comments.. Wish you would have simply called me. I have not asked Kintera to be a sponsor - not made my pitch, not done a deal. We have some vendors who approach us; but I have to go to many and ask for underwriting for the conference. So your utter speculation remains just that for now.

Have a great weekend -- and approve my comment!
