ADVANCE is a half-day conference from Generocity dedicated to helping move forward ideas, organizations, and professionals that drive smarter impact.

This year’s conference will be held as an all-virtual event on Thursday, November 12, as part of PHLanthropy Week which runs November 9 – 14. In tandem with PHLanthropy Week’s focus on “Moving with Intent”, ADVANCE will focus on “Resilience and Recovery.” Between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. ET when the event closes, attendees will explore insights and ideas that will help them transform today’s toughest challenges into areas of learning and new opportunity.

ADVANCE 2020 features six sessions, each beginning as fireside chats with local social impact leaders. The day will be punctuated with breakout rooms where nonprofit professionals can share ideas and experiences with fellow attendees.
