Donor Growth

Back from Build Good Summit

May 11, 2023 • Louis Diez & Mike Duerksen

We’re back from the first-ever Build Good Summit at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights—and we’re doing a bit of a recap.

-What did we learn?
-What made the BG Summit different from other conferences?
-What were some of the key challenges fundraisers in the room brought to the table?
-Which sessions did we find the most valuable and innovative?
-Did the conference make any money?

If you’re tired of stuffy conferences, full of suits and bowties, in big convention centres, with recycled AC air and stale coffee, and case studies from scaled up consultancies that don’t actually take you behind the scenes…you might find today’s pod interesting.
