NonProfit PRO to Co-present Second Annual BridgeTECH at Bridge Conference

With the success of its inaugural event last year, NonProfit PRO is excited to co-present BridgeTECH for a second time ahead of the 19th annual Bridge to Integrated Marketing & Fundraising Conference. Like last year, NonProfit PRO is working with the Direct Marketing Association of Washington (DMAW) and the Association of Fundraising Professionals, Washington, D.C. (AFP-DC) to host the event on July 31.

Presented as a full-day, immersive educational track the BridgeTECH event is designed to provide nonprofit executives, marketers and fundraisers with an understanding of innovative technologies that can boost the impact of their work — whether they’re new to the field or been around the block. In addition to 24 educational sessions and three keynote addresses on July 31, there will be seven BridgeTECH sessions hosted throughout the Bridge event — four on Aug. 1 and three on Aug. 2.

“We are excited to work with the Bridge Conference team once again to co-present the BridgeTECH conference,” Chris Lyons, president of NonProfit PRO, said. “Coming off the tails of the successful inaugural event last year, we are delighted to bring fresh knowledge to nonprofit professionals about how emerging technologies can help them reach fundraising goals, cultivate their donor bases, and advance their missions.”
