From Evonne Heyning with Claire Sale @techsoup:

The 2010 National Conference on Volunteering and Service (NCVS) is June 28-30 in New York City. The NCVS conference is an opportunity for volunteer and service leaders to get together for in-person networking and learning. If you're going to be there we'd love for you to get in touch -- or if you cannot attend, join us in Second Life or on the web!

Here's a listing of live sessions and spaces hosted by TechSoup:
