Next Week in San Diego - #ForumCon14!

Friday, July 25, 2014

Right now San Diego is overrun with folks dressed up as heroes for ComicCon, but next week when the Forum's Annual Conference begins, the real heroes arrive.

The Forum's Annual Conference is a key opportunity each year for regional association staff to come together for skill building sessions, networking, and thought provoking discussions with philanthropy leaders. We hope to see you there. Check out the Annual Conference page for a conference agenda, information about our presenters, the hotel, and all the fun activities we have planned for #ForumCon14. Oh, and if you're Tweeting along, be sure to use our hashtag to keep up with all the action.

We are honored to have the following sponsors at next week's annual conference. We hope you will connect with each of them during a session or break to learn more. To make identifying them easier, representatives from our sponsor organizations will have a white ribbon on their name badge.
