Keynotes
OpenX is crowd-sourced breakout sessions about nonprofit strategies that work. That means you choose what’s most important to talk with others about. Anyone can name a session and invite others to join. Attend as many sessions as you’d like. Come ready to participate and discuss the items that matter most to you.
Time to create the most unique and most productive keynote you’ll experience – a LIVE training where we, together, build a year long Fundraising Plan. Whether you want to add to your already created goals, or you have no idea where to start, Fundraising expert-author-podcaster Patrick Kirby will be working with attendees in real time, curating ideas, and answering questions on strategies to help you raise money for your organization!
Nonprofits at the SD Legislature
SDNN Board Member and Registered Lobbyist Julie Johnson will discuss topics from the 2023 Legislature, what is happening in the interim, prep for the 2024 Legislature, and how to best get involved and engaged.
South Dakota Funders Panel
We have a tremendous lineup of guests on the panel who will share and discuss a variety of items related to their organization as well as best practices in funder relations and the opportunities they have in place for nonprofits.
