discussions, NPTV Live will delve into the new approaches and strategies

Online fundraising continues to serve as a growth engine for many nonprofit
organizations, with nonprofits using Convio`s software and service suite leading
the way. With the constant changes in technology and success of Convio`s
clients, it has never been more important for nonprofit leaders to closely
monitor how they interact with their supporters and leverage technology for
efficiency and effectiveness in building relationships. The fast pace of
emerging technologies coupled with the economic climate hitting traditional
fundraising channels hard, many in the market are scrambling to keep up with the
pace. Nonprofit leaders and experts gathering in Austin will discuss the
dramatic changes that are taking place in the wake of this economic climate and
the opportunities that are available today.

This discussion, broadcast across the Web from Convio Summit, will bring
together the insights and foresights of some of the top minds from both the
nonprofit sector and technology to recap how the Internet has changed the nature
of nonprofit fundraising, marketing and advocacy over the last year, and their
predictions for the future of interactions with donors, volunteers and other
supporters. The program will begin at 10 a.m. CST on the 17th, from the showroom
floor at the Renaissance Hotel in Austin, TX and will conclude at 9:00 pm CST.

The shows will be broadcast every hour at the industry`s newest content channel
www.nonprofitlive.tv. All footage will be archived and placed on the web for
later viewing at www.nonprofitlive.tv as well as distributed through a variety
of media outlets. Interested individuals can visit the site and register for
