When the going gets tough, nonprofits can rely on one of their strengths: collaboration. While nonprofits operate sometimes within a competitive landscape, more often they connect with other organizations to provide one part of a web of support for people and communities. Collaboration involves engagement, listening, commitment, negotiation, long-term thinking, and more.<\/p>\n

How might nonprofit communicators build more capacity for collaboration and connection with their partners? What role does communication, storytelling, and listening fill during collaboration? This year’s conference addresses these topics and more to help communicators and other nonprofit professionals get ready for a collaboration framework.<\/p>\n

Sessions will include these topics: storytelling ecosystems; generative AI and GEO; volunteers and other partnerships; listening and engagement; and more.<\/p>\n
