WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The Breakin' It Down Conference is designed for diverse seasoned and emerging nonprofit, philanthropy, and fundraising professionals serving under-represented communities in the Chicago area. The conference is also of interest to community activists and students.
The "Speed Networking with Funders" has been an overwhelmingly popular element at our BID conference featuring area funders, which enable an introduction quick enough for participants to meet philanthropic leaders, but long enough for each session to be valuable. In order to achieve this meaningful goal, the BID Conference has a Non-Solicitation Policy.
We’re expecting the 2021 BID Conference's Speed Networking with Funders to sell out, so don’t miss this opportunity to reserve your spot! You can learn more about our speakers and agenda on our conference website, www.breakinitdownchicago.org. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at hello@breakinitdownchicago.org.
We look forward to seeing you on October 29!
