john-haydonThere are so many amazing nonprofit conferences to choose from, many more than even just 3 years ago! So trying to figure out which conferences to attend can be daunting.

Here are 5 of the most notable, can’t-miss nonprofit conferences in 2017 (in no particular order).

1. Cause Camp

Cause Camp is a nonprofit conference by Nonprofit Hub, and I’ll be speaking there for the first time this year!

CauseCamp is March 27-28 in Lincoln, Nebraska, at Nebraska Innovation Campus.

Cause Camp will leave you inspired, enlightened and give you the action items you need to make a change in your organization immediately.

Topics covered:

  • Nonprofit Marketing
  • Storytelling
  • Fresh fundraising perspectives
  • Tangible problem-solving

Check us out on Facebook and Twitter or join the conversation with #CauseCamp17

2. Nonprofit Storytelling Conference

The Nonprofit Storytelling Conference will be in San Diego from November 9 11. This will be a game-changer for nonprofits seeking to tell better stories and raise more money.

In just two weeks, Kelly was able to increase the number first-time donors by 4X. Plus, she reactivated 40 lapsed donors and got 14 new monthly donors. Pretty solid results!

Details for the conference will soon be available on their website.

3. International Fundraising Conference

AFP International is hosting their 54th International Fundraising Conference April 30-May 2 in San Francisco, California. The content is all centered around changing the rules of the philanthropic and fundraising space.

There will be over 100 sessions over the 5-day conference covering:

  • Leadership
  • Relationship building
  • Securing the gift
  • Innovation

Check them out on Facebook and Twitter.

 

4. MCON

MCON is a fresh take at changing the world. It’s not a nonprofit conference per say, it’s a social change conference. The conference is for people who care about social change and want to turn their interest into action.

They’ve featured speakers including Matt Bellassai, Minka Kelly, and several higher-ups of benefit corporations – not to mention Cause Camp 2017 speaker, Derrick Feldmann.

Stay up to date with their Twitter and Facebook.

5. Nonprofit Technology Conference

The 2017 Nonprofit Technology Conference will be held from March 23rd through the 25th in Washington DC. Over these three days, there will be over hundreds of sessions and networking events as well as an exhibit hall containing the most up-to-date nonprofit products and services.

Sadly, I will not be able to attend this year because of a speaking conflict.

Stay up to date with the NTEN Twitter and Facebook.

Get out there and learn!

Getting out of the office and changing up your routines prevents burnout and contributes to your professional growth. Keep these conferences on your radar, and hopefully, I will see you in Lincoln for Cause Camp 2017!

Fall conference season is getting underway, so I wanted to share a few helpful tips to help manage and maximize your time spent at a conference(s). You’ll be glad you set these in motion when you get back from your next event.

Start with the end in mind

1What are the top three things you want to get out of this conference? Is it meeting a particular attendee or speaker? Is it networking or gaining a better understanding of how to create a social media strategy for your nonprofit? The more specific you are, the more likely you are to walk out of that conference feeling satisfied and accomplished.

Use your business cards to their fullest potential

2In the flurry of meet and greets, it is likely you’ll get home and won’t remember half of who those cards are from. To remedy this, think of one actionable item for each person you meet. Then write it on their business card before you walk out of the room.

Lessons learned

3Take a minute and write down the three things you learned after each conference session attended. It will all seem like less of a blur once you get back home and you’ll be able to take action on the items that really stood out. A plus, is that you can also share these lessons with colleagues who are interested.

BONUS TIP! 

If you’re on Twitter, following the conference hashtag and live tweeting are great ways to stay up-to-date and participate in conference learnings and conversations. This is also a great way to make new connections and even network with other tweeting attendees.

Happy September!

What are some of your favorite conference-going tips?
