What is the Madison Nonprofit Day Conference?
The Madison Nonprofit Day Conference connects today's and tomorrow’s change-makers by providing an affordable, awe inspiring skills-building and networking conference for professionals. We bring together more than 600 change-makers from the Greater Madison Area and Mid-West Region to share ideas, innovations, network, and gain professional skills.
