The Bridge Conference – where nonprofit professionals come together
to learn, connect, and grow!

We are amplifying Bridge!

We have added more education… more networking… new events… and a new schedule!



Why Attend the Bridge Conference?

  • The Bridge Conference is designed to help you amplify your message, reach more supporters, and achieve greater impact.
  • Our keynote speakers will inspire you with their stories and insights. You’ll leave feeling amplified!
  • Our more than 90 breakout sessions, with a world-class lineup of speakers, will provide you with valuable perspectives and actionable strategies that you can apply to your work right away. From social media to email marketing, donor stewardship to board engagement to strategic planning, from the latest in AI to traditional direct mail… we've got you covered.
But wait there’s more!

We have some AMAZING ad-ons Wednesday, August 2, that could be just what you're looking for to enhance your education!

  • You can choose from one of three Bridge Conference Master Class workshops: 1) Strategic Planning, 2) Major Gifts or 3) Sustainers.
  • If you're a faith-based fundraiser, you'll definitely want to attend our new Faith & Fundraising Forum developed by The Nonprofit Alliance Catholic Development Council.
  • It's no secret! Technology is so important to fundraisers today! So with the help of Nonprofit PRO, we’ve added BridgeTECH for our technology partners!

The Bridge Conference is more than just learning, it is also about connecting with others who share your passion for making a difference. You'll have plenty of opportunities to collaborate with your peers, meet new colleagues, and build relationships that will last long after the conference ends.
