Want to come to Congress, but need some help in getting your boss on board with the idea? We’ve got you covered.

The basics:

• Congress is a three-day conference unlike any other with more than 90 sessions to choose from that explore all areas of philanthropy – whether you’re new to the fundraising profession, are an industry veteran, or somewhere in between, Congress has something for everyone
• Congress is the largest fundraising conference in Canada that welcomes more than 1,000 delegates from across North America each year
• Congress is the best way to upgrade your skills and knowledge, network and connect with other like-minded professionals

What’s in it for them:

• New ideas that you’ll bring back to the office to help your organization grow their programs, maximize their impact and results
• Solutions that you’ll share on some of the sector’s top challenges
• The ability to stay ahead of the curve – you’ll share new ideas on sector innovations and technologies that will help your organization thrive
• An “in” with key funding decision-makers and business leaders – you’ll be able to make the proper introductions after all your networking at Congress

What’s in it for you:

• Inspiration and practical takeaways you can implement right away that will help you be better at your job
• The opportunity to network with expert leaders, including the opportunity to meet and introduce the speakers as a session host
• Up to 10.5 education points towards your CFRE
• Three days of great food with even better company (registration includes all conference meals – continental breakfasts, two luncheons and refreshments during breaks, admission to the Philanthropy Awards, President and Out-of-Towners’ receptions, and the AFP Speaker Discovery Series Congress Pre-event)

How to hit it home:

• On top of 90+ sessions, Congress offers exciting plenary presentations you won’t see anywhere else
• Congress is a great deal – for a conference of its size, Congress has one of the lowest fees on the market and offers additional savings with group and AFP member discounts
• Congress is a one-of-a-kind experience that offers an immediate return on investment
