Submit a Session Proposal

Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or have something new to the field, and whether you work in healthcare, education, the arts, or the broader nonprofit sector, we invite you to share your expertise. Submit your ideas, insights, and innovations—and help inspire colleagues to elevate donor relations with fresh perspectives and emerging trends.

Wondering what your peers are most eager to learn about? Based on our pre-conference survey, these are a few of the topics generating the most excitement:

Impact Reporting Best Practices
Leveraging Technology and Systems in Donor Relations
Personalized and Strategic Stewardship
Doing More with Less: Navigating Capacity Constraints
Donor Engagement and Retention Strategies
Campaign Stewardship and Recognition

 

If these topics spark your interest or you have something completely new to explore, we encourage you to submit a proposal or empower someone in your network to participate. Proposals are due by March 2, 2026.
