We are primarily a single-day skills building and networking conference, but there's always a lot going on. Use this as a quick access point to our major moving parts. If you already registered, don't stop reading the attendee emails. We'll keep you notified.
the workshops
We have a dynamic array of workshops to advance your skills, knowledge, connections, and careers. We're not your typical conference, where you'll know all the workshops a year or more in advance. Our goal is to have speakers present on relevant topics. This means our competitve submission process happens only a few months ahead of the conference.

You can schedule 15-minute sessions to ask a question, get an introduction, and or have a brief conversation. How it works.

WORT Radio Roundtable - Pivotal Moments
Madison Nonprofit Day's annual WORT Radioshow, "The Roundtable". This year's show invites social good leaders to discuss pivotal moments. A precursor to Friday, October 5th's Nonprofits: Ignite Plenary, the roundtable will invite debate and discussion around people, ideas, and circumstances that allowed them to transform themselves, their direction, and or the organizations they lead.
