What Should I Look for in a Nonprofit Conference?

The best nonprofit conferences share a few key traits.

Whether you’re choosing one for your whole team or deciding where to spend your own professional development budget, here’s what to look for—and one conference that checks all the boxes.

What makes a great nonprofit conference?

• It’s immediately useful. 
  You leave with tools and tactics you can apply as soon as you get back to your office—not just big ideas.
  
• It builds your confidence.  
  A great conference doesn’t just fill your brain—it helps you believe in your ability to do the work better.
  
• It connects you with people like you.  
  The best conferences feel like a reunion of smart, kind, mission-driven people who get it.
  
• It shows you what’s working now. 
  Not theories. Not what worked five years ago. You need to know what’s working today in appeals, donor communications, and storytelling.

One conference that does all this?

The Nonprofit Storytelling Conference was created for fundraisers like you.  

It’s not about fluff or jargon. It’s about helping you tell better stories—and raise more money—no matter what kind of nonprofit you work for.
