Session Description

CiviCRM is open source Constituent Relationship Management software designed specifically to meet the needs of political campaigns, advocacy, non-profit/NGO and membership organizations. CiviCRM integrates with Drupal – providing a powerful set of tools to connect, communicate, fund-raise and activate supporters and constituents.

This session is intended for folks who are evaluating CiviCRM and want an overview of the project, features and roadmap for the future.

CiviCRM has been deployed by the Wikimedia Foundation (Wikipedia), Greenpeace-UK, Compumentor-Techsoup, Green Party Canada, and many others. The software is downloaded more than 150 times per day by individuals and organizations across the globe and has been translated into a number of other languages. It is supported by a vibrant online community of users, developers and integrators.

CiviCRM features include:

* contact management and activity tracking
* online contribution processing
* membership management
* broadcast email
* event management
