Let’s Connect at ADRP 2023!

In addition to the fantastic content and the occasion to explore a different city (for all the non- Minneapolitans), the conference offers the opportunity to meet, brainstorm with, and develop friendships with your peers. Our field is full of caring, resourceful, and fun professionals, so be sure to take advantage of the many chances to network.

Calling all party people! (and people who like to eat and drink)
 
The Purple Launch Party
Get into the Minnesota spirit and rep the state color by wearing your purple garb and accessories! This welcome reception takes place on Wednesday, October 4, (5:00–7:00 PM), with appetizers and a cash bar. Anyone who arrives early for the conference is invited. It’s a great informal time to connect and reunite with fellow ADRPers.

Networking Reception
 
On Thursday, October 5, (5:15–7:15 PM), we invite you to the conference’s main social event. Enjoy heavy appetizers, one drink ticket, and a cash bar while you mingle with our industry partner sponsors and vendors, and fellow donor relations folks. It’s the perfect time to chat about what you learned on the first day and take photos. 

Meet New People
Have a tough time figuring out what to talk about with someone you just met?
During both receptions, we’ll have cards with professional and personal questions/prompts to make conversations easier.
 
Looking for focused time to chat in a small group?
Then our Cohort Program is for you! You’ll be paired with other attendees and meet as a group before, during, and after the conference to discuss all things donor relations and fundraising. The program facilitates meaningful and purposeful networking with the chance to raise topics and questions that are important to your work. Cohorts will be a mix of experience levels and institutions. Sign Up Now
 
Need to address a work task or take a break?
This year’s Break Room features many of the amenities you’re used to—business center, printing, outlets for charging—and will also have snacks, goodies, and a calm space to check email or check in on yourself!
 
Want to spend time with fellow foodies?
One of the best ways to get a taste of a city (pun intended) is by checking out the dining scene. Dine-Arounds are an opportunity to get to know your fellow conference attendees around the dinner or lunch table. We’ve compiled a diverse list of restaurants for dinner on Thursday and Friday, and for lunch on Saturday. To check out the Minneapolis food scene, you can sign up for as many meals as you’d like.
