The 2022 Nonprofit and Business Summit is the premiere conference for community, nonprofit, and business leaders!
Year 6 of the Nonprofit and Business Summit is underway!
This year will be epic! After a trying two years for our organizations, now is the time to gather the tools and support we need to lead and impact after disruption.
The Summit will go back to an in-person experience AND we will offer a virtual option.
We will adhere to all protocol plus our standards of excellence to provide a safe in-person experience. This year, we are adding business workshops to this event to provide an inclusive and holistic learning experience for nonprofit and business professionals.
The first five people to register for the conference (in-person registration only) will be refunded their registration!
And yes, we will have our annual $1,000 pitch competition! (Details will be shared with registrants only.)
Also, we will have a Meet the Funders hour to meet community grant making and banking representatives for businesses and nonprofits.
Also, we will have a networking social hour to relax and mingle after a great day of learning.
And, if you register your team of 5 or more, you will receive $5 off each registration.
This is the premier conference for nonprofit and business leaders to embark on a day’s learning of relevant topics to refine the tools needed for successful organizations. Workshop sessions will focus on maneuvering intentionally and strategically to develop strong boards, find business capital, how to take care of yourself while leading others, leveling up in customer service, priority blocking with our time and activities, and more!

Check out what others have said about the Nonprofit Summit!
Matthew Knight Director is such an amazing speaker and moved me to tears. I’m so glad I was able to attend this year. Great job!
I learned a lot from all the speakers, but Shunqetta Cunningham hit home and she asked us about ourselves and had us to be honest with rather or not we are putting 100% action behind the impact. Thanks for the challenge.
This event was absolutely amazing. I attended last year as a fill in. I made a decision at that time to attend on purpose the next year. If you missed it, mark your calendars for next year. You are only doing your organization and your clients a disservice if you miss out.
Key Takeaways: Volunteerism, Profitability, Program Evaluation, Leadership, Expect Miracles, Pay It Forward, Pitch on the Spot.
Leaders need this as a refreshing every year. We never stop growing and this conference always challenges me to be a better leader.
