Registration Extended for the

2021 Breakin' It Down Conference

BUNDLE

 

In March 2020, no one could have anticipated or even thought how different the world would look one year later. During this time, the Breakin' It Down planning committee reached out to  our constituents of nonprofit, fundraising , and philanthropy professionals and community advocates by creating virtual programs that focused on effective communication and engagement, organizational and individual mental health and wellbeing, and crisis-resilience.  The global pandemic has transformed the nonprofit fund development profession in ways none of us could have imagined. Its impact and evolving challenges are deep and pervasive, and demand a strategic and skillful response.

About the Conference

In 2021, Breakin' It Down takes up the question of going beyond "back to normal." Join us in exploring the theme "Resilience and Re-Imagining Tomorrow." Together with nonprofit industry and community leaders, we will examine how we can use this moment to re-imagine current practices and build resilience with intention.

The 2021 Breakin' It Down Conference incorporates concepts and strategies that enhance learning, such as:

  • Plenary Panel discussions, Workshops, and Speed Networking sessions that prioritize engagement and participation.
  • Templates, tools, and other takeaways from each session that you can implement immediately at your organization.
The 2021 BID Bundle includes the full offerings:
  • Friday, October 22, 2021: One (1) Plenary Panel and selection of (1) Workshop session
  • Friday, October 29, 2021:  Up to three (3) Speed Networking with Funders sessions
The deadline to register for the 2021 BID Bundle has been extended to
October 20. 2021.
