-2005 Collaborating for Success conference participant
Last May, 250 people from 28 states, Canada and Japan, descended on Tides and Fort Mason Center for the 2005 Collaborating For Success Conference: Creating and Operating Multi-tenant Nonprofit Centers. For two and a half days, MTNC practitioners, real estate developers, public officials, funders, financiers, architects and academics came together to learn and share everything there is to know about nonprofit centers.

Conference Program
The conference program included over 30 sessions with plenary sessions on the MTNC movement and strategies for collaboration, as well as opportunities for networking and peer exchange. For the first time we also offered thematic collaborative breakout sessions where centers with similar programs came together in an open discussion to network and share collaboration challenges and effective strategies.

Evaluation Highlights
The results of the conference evaluations were extremely positive, and we received many constructive suggestions for improvement. Although there were no questions specifically asking respondents to share what they liked about the conference, several took the opportunity to write them in or to email The NonprofitCenters Network to offer their congratulations and compliments.
