25th Annual Nonprofit Partners Conference

Hosted by the UCF School of Public Administration Nonprofit Advisory Board, join us as we focus on using innovation to solve problems in the public sector. In a world where unpredictability is the only constant, nonprofit organizations are being called to lead with agility, purpose, and bold thinking.

This year’s theme — Collaborative Intelligence: People, partnerships, and AI working together for impact — brings together leaders, practitioners, researchers, and community partners to explore how AI can enhance collaboration, strengthen decision-making, and accelerate meaningful outcomes.

Through engaging presentations, panel discussions, and interactive learning opportunities, participants will examine practical applications of AI across sectors while emphasizing the critical role of human relationships, trust, and shared purpose. The conference will highlight innovative strategies for leveraging technology responsibly, fostering cross-sector partnerships, and building nonprofit organizational capacity to address complex challenges.

Attendees will leave with actionable insights, emerging practices, and a deeper understanding of how people and AI can work together to create greater impact for the communities and organizations they serve.

Whether you're a board member shaping strategy, a nonprofit executive, program manager, frontline staff member, researcher, community partner, or volunteer, this event invites you to explore how collaborative intelligence—the intersection of people, partnerships, and AI—can spark innovation, strengthen decision-making, and create greater impact for the communities we serve. Together, we'll examine what's possible when technology and human expertise work hand in hand.
