Get Your Peer-to-Peer Face Time in 2015

Are you looking to do more with your P2P program this year, or are you looking to start one?

It may be that time of year when you are planning professional development opportunities for either your staff or yourself, and looking for opportunities to get out of the office, out from behind your desk, and into the classroom with your peers in  P2P fundraising.

If so, might I grab your ear for a minute?

Grab that cup o’ joe and read on with me for the lowdown on some hot P2P events happening in 2015.  All of these are great opportunities to learn about the latest trends in P2P, meet industry experts and meet your peers in the peer-to-peer space.  I’m going to break it out by timeframe.

February Peer-to-Peer Event

Why go?  This is the  top conference  in the P2P industry that focus solely on P2P events and fundraising.

What does the event have to offer?  Blackbaud peer-to-peer strategy, fundraising and technical experts will be there to talk with you about anything under the sun in the P2P world, from traditional run/walk/rides to the growing and changing world of crowdfunding.  In a general session, learn how to grow your flagship P2P event with Amy Braiterman.  Additionally, if you are looking for a deep-dive workshop, this conference offers pre-conference hands-on workshops.  Yours truly will be hosting one of those workshops, Work Better Together, so join me for some coffee and good conversation and hands-on activities on the topic of bringing various departments within your organization together to make the most of your P2P programs. Yes, there will be coffee. (Wink).
