The 2020 Nonprofit Conference season is beginning for the team here at Little Green Light, and we thought you might be interested in which events caught our eye this year.
Each year, we evaluate nonprofit conferences across the U.S., both large and small, and decide which ones will best afford us the opportunity to share the LGL love with new and existing customers alike. There are a few conferences that we attend yearly, as well as a few new ones that look interesting.
Here are our top picks for the 2020 Nonprofit Conference season.
This annual event is touted as the world’s largest conference for fundraising professionals, attracting over 3,500 attendees.

Timi, a great service from LGL! Thank you. Other than the AFP International Conference, the regional conferences don’t get much visibility outside of their local area. You might want to consider the AFP-NJ annual Conference On Philanthropy on Nov. 19 in Bridgewater NJ. This event, now 40 years old, brings together nearly 300 fundraising professionals to hear top speakers, many of whom have presented at the AFP International Conference. Great opportunity for LGL too!
Hi George! Thanks for the recommendation! We will take a look!

Blue Ridge Institute for NonProfit Executives. http://www.blueridgeleaders.org. This summer will be my 5th consecutive year. Many attendees are 20+ year veterans. Does require nomination. Well worth the extra work.
