ET
Opening Keynote — Every Donor Should Feel Known: The New Era of Connected Fundraising
Rob Wu — CauseVox
Flow
About This Session
Every donor wants to feel known. Yet too often, nonprofits are forced to piece together donor relationships across disconnected fundraising tools, CRMs, email platforms, event software, and spreadsheets. The result? More time spent managing systems, less time building the relationships that inspire generosity. We’re entering a new era of fundraising. In this opening keynote, CauseVox Co-Founder and CEO Rob Wu introduces Connected Fundraising — a fundamentally different approach where your technology works together so your team can understand each supporter’s complete story, create more personal donor experiences, and spend less time on administration. Because Connected Fundraising isn’t really about technology. It’s about making every donor feel seen, valued, and known. Join Rob as he shares why Connected Fundraising represents the next era of nonprofit fundraising and how building stronger relationships — not simply collecting more transactions — is the key to sustainable growth and making your impact overflow.

ET
Year-End Fundraising: Using Your Data to Build an AI-Powered Plan
Nathan Hill & Kevin Peters — Avid
Flow
About This Session
Revenue is up across the sector, but donor counts have fallen for the past 5 years. How do you build a year-end plan that keeps revenue moving and re-builds the base? You can find the answers in your own data — if you know where to look. In this session with Nathan Hill and Kevin Peters of Avid, learn how to use your own donor data to build a more effective year-end plan through benchmarking, analysis tips & tricks, and an AI-assist.
12:00 PM
ET
How to Walk Into EOY With Your Monthly Giving Program Finally Built
Dana Snyder — Positive Equation
Flow
About This Session
You don’t need another overview of why monthly giving matters. You already know it matters. The problem is that year-end is weeks away and your program still isn’t built. This live training walks through a proven 5-step framework using real examples of small nonprofits going from stuck to launched — program named, landing page written, ask sequenced, donors retained.
1:00 PM
ET
The Great AI Debate
Benjamin Childers, Amina Mohamed, Vu Le, Andrew Patricio & Bryan Casler — Panel
Flow
About This Session

2:00 PM
ET
The Human Side of Fundraising: A Fireside Chat with Seth Godin + Tammy Zonker
Seth Godin & Tammy Zonker — Author / Fundraising Transformed
Flow
About This Session
Fundraising has never been about asking for money. At its best, it’s about inviting people into something meaningful. Seth Godin and Tammy Zonker explore how trust, empathy, and authentic relationships shape the future of fundraising — why generosity grows from connection, how organizations earn lasting donor trust, and what it means to create experiences supporters genuinely want to be part of.
3:00 PM
ET
Flipping Tables w/ Vu and Candace
Vu Le & Candace Cody — Nonprofit AF / CauseVox
Flow
About This Session
A candid conversation on the joys and challenges of the nonprofit and philanthropic sector — AI, burnout, what an ideal sector looks like, assumptions we need to stop making, new practices emerging, and Vu’s next book. Come ready to feel energized, validated, and maybe slightly upset at the shenanigans forced on nonprofits.
4:00 PM
ET
AI Was Supposed to Give You Capacity. So Why Is Everyone Exhausted?
Tim Lockie — The Human Stack
Flow
About This Session
Every nonprofit has been told AI will hand time back to its team. Most teams find the opposite, at least at first. Learning the tool, rebuilding the workflow, working out who owns what, and absorbing the third new system this year all draw down the same finite resource: your organisation’s capacity for change. Explore why AI adoption stalls at exactly the point it should start paying off, and why organisations getting the most from AI are usually the ones that did fewer things. Leave able to judge whether your team is ready for the next thing — with permission not to do it yet.

Flow
About This Session
How do we make more room in our lives for love, joy, passion, and the things that actually fill us up? In this playful closing session, Kyle Lipton will explore the cosmic joke, the stories and patterns that can get in the way of accessing our truth, and what it looks like to create more space for what truly matters.

Your Donors Didn’t Lapse. Your Channels Did.
Nick Black & Mark Cross — GoodUnited / DoRoJo Productions
Rise
About This Session
What if some of your lapsed supporters never stopped caring — they just stopped responding in the places you kept trying to reach them? Nick Black and content expert Mark Cross unpack three ways nonprofits can create more supporter relationships from assets they already have: reconnecting with lapsed supporters in the CRM, turning social content into an acquisition engine, and using paid social to start direct relationships. Leave with three practical plays for your year-end strategy.

The Five-Week Sprint: A Real End-of-Year Giving Plan You Can Actually Run
Cat Ashton — Giant Squid Group
Rise
About This Session
Most end-of-year giving plans get built in July and abandoned by November — not because the plan was bad, but because nobody had a week-by-week structure to actually run it. This laser session gives you one: a five-week sprint from real GSG client work, from finalize-and-send week through the 48-hour thank-you.
3:00 PM

Edgar Villanueva & Nate Levin-Aspenson — Decolonizing Wealth Project / Giant Squid Group
Flow
About This Session
As nonprofit leaders prepare for GivingTuesday and year-end, conversations often revolve around raising more, asking better, and reaching bigger goals.
