The 2025 event theme is "The Way Forward":
This year's theme, "The Way Forward", acknowledges the ongoing change and uncertainty that nonprofit organizations are navigating and inspires attendees to explore ideas, opportunities, and frameworks that can fuel progress and meaningful action. In a world where rapid change is the new normal, nonprofits must cultivate resilience and adaptability to stay relevant and continue advancing their mission. The conference will illuminate the way forward by providing nonprofit leaders, staff, and board members with actionable insights and strategies to thrive in this ever-shifting landscape. From adapting to new operational challenges to deepening community engagement, attendees will leave with valuable tools to manage change effectively, strengthen their organizations, and create a lasting impact in these dynamic times.
