Benelux meetup in Brussels: Connect, communicate and activate your supporters and constituents

Organisers: Corporate Europe Observatory and Tech To The People

CiviCRM is a free and open source software constituent relationship management solution. CiviCRM is web-based, internationalized, and designed specifically to meet the needs of advocacy, non-profit and non-governmental groups.

At this meeting you can learn more about what CiviCRM can do for your organisation, with examples of European NGOs and Trade Union Federations. Meet others who are also interested in CiviCRM or who are already using it in their organisation. Talk to developers who know all about CiviCRM.
