Conferences Provide Unique Professional Developmental Opportunities [SUBSCRIBERS-ONLY]
Each year there are multiple nonprofit industry conferences that provide unique developmental learning experiences. These multi-day conferences provide interactive learning platforms that together provide enriching learning experiences that are hard to replicate in regular brief stand-alone training and educational sessions. The Nonprofit Symposium (powered by GWSCPA) is one of the best examples of a professional nonprofit industry conference done extremely well and should not be missed.
For me, what makes professional conferences especially valuable is the opportunity to learn, connect, and lead in meaningful and transformative ways outside the rush of our everyday business lives. The temporary pause to immerse ourselves and luxuriate in a focus we normally cannot afford on a daily basis is special. Professionally, this can be life changing.
