Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy a fantastic learning experience and grow with your peers.

“This is a wonderful conference for both new and experienced planned giving officers. I’ve now attended for several years and the speakers are always of the highest caliber. The opportunities to network with and learn from my peers are just as invaluable. I highly recommend this conference to all organizations that solicit planned gifts.”

— David Lavery, Assistant Director of Georgia College and State University, on last year’s conference
