Kintera(R) Inc. (Nasdaq:KNTA) today announced that the Kintera User Conference 2006, "Revolution In Giving", will be held Feb. 26 through Mar. 1, 2006 in San Diego. The national conference offers Kintera's industry-leading customers and partners the opportunity to learn best practices, network and receive new product training. An annual event for the nonprofit sector, the Kintera User Conference features nearly four days of training on best practices and new products, as well as two must-see presentations -- keynote speaker Irwin Jacobs and leading nonprofit lawyer Seth Perlman: Dr. Jacobs is co-founder and chairman of the board of directors at QUALCOMM, Inc. (Nasdaq:QCOM). Recently ranked #22 in BusinessWeek's Top 50 Most Generous Philanthropists, he and his wife, Joan, also secured the #10 ranking in the Chronicle of Philanthropy's 2003 list of America's Most Generous Donors. Seth Perlman, a senior partner at Perlman and Perlman, is the author of "Fund-Raising Regulation," the definitive handbook on charitable solicitations. He is a leading regulatory lawyer for the nonprofit sector, and an industry expert on rules and regulatory issues surrounding Internet fundraising. "The nonprofit leaders and partners attending the Kintera User Conference 2006 will walk away with strategies and product knowledge to effectively reach new heights this year," said Harry E. Gruber, M.D., CEO of Kintera Inc. "In addition, they'll be surrounded by a 'Who's Who' list of the nonprofit sector -- and with more than 50 breakout sessions co-led by nonprofit professionals discussing their online challenges and successes, participants will have the opportunity to learn from some of the greatest minds in philanthropy."
