2017 ADRP International Conference

September seems far away as we enjoy the warmth (and humidity) of the summer season. Autumn leaves will be here before we know it and a highlight of the season will be the “Bright Lights, Big Opportunities” 14th Annual ADRP International Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada!

The 2017 Conference Planning Committee has assembled an all-star line-up of speakers. Our Keynote Speaker, Professor Adrian Sargeant, is one of the world’s leading authorities on how to achieve growth in philanthropy. Pam King Sams , BA, CFRE, MIPP will educate and inspire us with her Plenary Session on the power of philanthropy on the global stage and the elevated role of donor relations and stewardship professionals. A new feature this year will be the “Master Classes” where more than 30 leading experts in our field will provide in-depth discussion opportunities for both seasoned and new-to-the-field professionals.  We’ve also built in some great networking opportunities and local excursions . 

Being the astute planners that we all are, I know many have already registered to join us at the Rio Hotel, September 26-28, 2017. We already have over 330 confirmed attendees. That’s 61% more registered attendees than at the same point for last year’s conference! If you aren’t already one of the lucky ones who have already signed up, you may want to consider registering before July 20, 2017 to take advantage of the Early Bird Rate of $615. After that date, the cost of registration increases to $665.

I have no doubt that the ADRP Conference will deliver BRIGHT LIGHTS and BIG OPPORTUNITIES to attendees – and we hope that you will be there with us!
