We're thrilled to be presenting at this year's AFP Congress in Toronto on November 21st. The topic this year will be "Megatrends for Non-Profit Leaders" and here's the overview: We hear about mobile device proliferation, mergers among tech companies, and the next big social media platform but what does this mean for the future of our fundraising organizations? This presentation will make the case that in order to remain relevant, our leadership must pay attention to several mega-trends. Though these trends could be seen as technological and possibly relegated to our technology teams, that would be a strategic mistake.These trends include the explosion of mobile, the dominance of social media, the dumbing-down of big data, and the rise of crowd-funding. They should be understood at the very top of our organizations to be incorporated into long-term strategic planning. This presentation will be geared for a senior audience that is not necessarily technical, and will weave together these trends in a format that will provoke and stimulate critical and creative thinking.
