Do you remember that first in-person event or conference that you had to cancel in 2020? I remember it SO clearly. 😥
I honestly didn’t know if we would gather again in person, in large groups.
Would everything be virtual?
Would we be forced to just watch endless webinars on Zoom?
More importantly – how can we make virtual professional development better? And not just in terms of educational content, but the actual experience itself?
Tim Sarrantonio is on a mission to change the way we learn and the way we create educational experiences for nonprofits. As the Director of Corporate Brand for Neon One, Tim speaks and writes on everything involving generosity, technology, and the trends in the social good sector.
In this special episode of Nonprofit Nation, we explore the ways that nonprofit professional development has changed in the wake of the pandemic and why we have both chosen to invest in virtual conference experiences.
Tim is one of my closest friends and colleagues, and his passion for turning the status quo on it’s head and truly helping nonprofits learn and network is unmatched! I recommend you subscribe to his LinkedIn Newsletter, Connected Fundraising Weekly. He lives in Niskayuna with his lovely wife, three lovely daughters, and two perfectly fine cats.
