2024 Advancement Roundtable

There are no more upcoming sessions for this event.
Washington, D.C. and Marina del Rey, CA

In today’s crowded landscape, advancement leaders are tasked with making strategic decisions that impact both short-term and long-term success. These decisions encompass a range of challenges, from collaborating with academic partners and retaining fundraisers to navigating external pressures and preparing to engage future donors.

At the 2024 Advancement Roundtable, EAB’s research team will engage chief advancement officers and other advancement leaders through research and networking sessions that will address today’s challenges while preparing leaders for the opportunities that lie ahead.

Here’s what your peers said about last year’s roundtable:

  • “This is the best EAB roundtable I’ve attended. The topics and presenters were top notch and I really appreciated the caliber of the people in the room.”
  • “The event was totally worth my time. A lot of new information that is very useful and getting to meet new colleagues was excellent.”
  • “Probably the most helpful roundtable I’ve attended. Gave me a great number of things to take back and use with our current campaign.”
