"From a Volunteer Center perspective, we have to really pick and choose what we undertake as far as professional development. I was familiar with some of the presenters. I knew their style and what they brought to the table, so it just seemed like a good fit that way, too.”

Nonprofit Conference
Plant. Cultivate. Bloom.

April 3, 2024
Lambeau Field, Green Bay

Our Nonprofit Conference was at max capacity in 2023, so mark your calendars for next year's conference on April 3, 2024, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Our theme is Plant. Cultivate. Bloom. As nonprofits tell their story and grow their resources, they will enhance their impact. More conference details will be announced soon.

To thrive, not-for-profit organizations need key resources that enable your work. You need people who can motivate with an appealing vision, excel with the necessary knowledge and support and adapt to changing trends. You need revenue streams that buffer you from change and disruption. In this conference, we will focus on how nonprofit leaders can develop people, resources and partnerships that enable them to deepen impact.

We're currently seeking breakout session proposals for 2024. If you have a topic of interest or importance to nonprofit professionals and would like to present, we would love to hear from you. Complete our call for proposals form. We'll be in touch.
