Speaker biography: Tony Nissen is the National Solutions Manager for R & G Technologies and has consulted to some of Australia’s largest and most successful not-for-profits. R & G Technologies is one of Australia’s leading IT consultancy and Cloud service firms specialising in the not-for-profit sector.

Not-for-profits are taking advantage of social media’s ability to facilitate and expand their impact by combining an organisational strategy with their professional online networks to connect, build relationships and establish trust and thought leadership.
