AFP Calgary Partners with CCVO for the 2024 Connections Conference – Join Us!
We are excited to announce our partnership with CCVO for the upcoming 2024 Connections Conference! As AFP Calgary, we are dedicated to fostering learning, networking, and professional development opportunities for our members, and this partnership with CCVO aligns perfectly with our mission
With AFP ICON happening in April 2024 in Toronto, and Connections scheduled for April 25th, there seemed to be little room for our annual Compass Conference. What emerged was a great opportunity to partner with CCVO on delivering exceptional fund development/fundraising stream for our members, with the opportunity to meet and network with other members of the non-profit community.
CCVO’s Connections Conference, now in its 11th year, is a premier gathering of professionals, leaders, and changemakers from Alberta’s nonprofit, business, and government sectors. It offers a platform for collaborative dialogue aimed at transforming ideas into tangible actions.
The conference is dedicated to sharing innovative best practices and thought leadership that inspires action to tackle complex problems from a systems perspective.
The 2024 Connections Conference will focus on key areas of funding and fund development, advocacy and government relations, and workforce and human resources.
When: April 25, 2024
- Conference: 7:30 am – 3:45 pm
- CCVO Anniversary Celebration: 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Where: Grey Eagle Conference Centre, Calgary, Alberta
