Ready for the path forward? Join these speakers at this Thursday’s Advance conference

ADVANCE 2020 is a half-day virtual conference from Generocity dedicated to progressing ideas, organizations, and professionals that drive smarter impact.

Breathe a sigh of relief. Election “week” is over. Now it’s time to get back to your full focus on making this world a better place. And what better time than now to refresh that vision? Tomorrow’s ADVANCE conference seeks to give you new tools and ideas to help move your mission and career forward. 

With a range of speakers and sessions, this year’s conference will help you embrace the new “now” with clarity and renewed vigor.  

• Sidney Hargro and Katherina Rosqueta will update you on Philadelphia’s “just recovery” so far.
• Bill Golderer and Omar Woodard have ideas for policy changes that will alleviate poverty now. 
• Erin Stephens and Samantha Matlin will share what Philadelphia must do to better prepare for the next crisis.
• Alberto Ibargüen believes philanthropists and venture capitalists can collaborate on solutions. 
• Bobbi Booker and Jamie Bracey-Green will explore how technology can help and hurt communities of color. 
• And Candace McKinley, lead organizer of Philadelphia Community Bail Fund, will discuss how to take protests to policy. 

This year’s virtual conference will focus on recovery and resiliency in the social impact sector. In addition to a range of speakers, the conference will include virtual breakout sessions for attendees to debrief and reflect. 

The conference schedule is as follows:

• 9:00 – 9:30am – Welcome!

In the midst of a pandemic, a profound shift in presidential change of power, an economic recession, and a national fight for racial justice, it is difficult to see a clear way forward; ADVANCE 2020 can provide some clarity, insight, and solutions.
