I'm half way through the conference and shared it with my entire team - SO very glad I shared it with them, we are learning so much!
The sessions were informative and beneficial in my roles within various nonprofits. I enjoyed the data combined with the concepts and tech tools presented. The keynote was thought-provoking and truly fit with the theme of reimagining how we operate nonprofits. I'm looking forward to next years conference!
The length of the sessions was perfect - 20 min to 30 for most was a great choice for the virtual landscape. Thank you!!
Conference was great, as a newbie in fundraising sector I learn a lot about role of technology in fundraising. I learn about new tech innovation like accepting Crypto and NFTs as donation. It was truly empowering to know how tech can enhance and make many fundraising goals possible. Thank you for hosting.
Thank you for the variety of excellent sessions offered. It was an excellent learning opportunity for me and will benefit me in my role as a board member (ideas, issues to raise, tools available, etc).
I appreciated the virtual conference, it was much easier to schedule my time knowing I just had to hop online, no travel required!

I am confident the knowledge gained and the support will help to grow my nonprofit organization and increase impact.
Great content so far. Thanks for doing this, great to get updated on so many various topics.
Having the sessions be asynchronously available was great, wish I had known that before today. Nice to be able to bounce in and out as schedule permitted, not strictly at session times. And the story time poll games were a nice touch, looking forward to receiving prize info. Thanks for a good conference overall!
It’s a great and informative session and would love to attend more conferences!

FAQs

Is #Empower2025 free?

As part of ProServeIT’s commitment to giving back, this virtual event is free for nonprofits. For other attendees, the standard registration fee is $299 USD for an in-person ticket and $99 USD for a virtual ticket.

Can I attend both in-person events? 

Yes! You are welcome to attend both the New York City and Toronto in-person events if you wish. We especially recommend these in-person sessions for executives and strategic planning leaders who want to clear the path for their 2025 strategy and make informed, actionable decisions amidst the rapidly evolving technology landscape.

Who should attend #Empower2025?

#Empower2025 is designed for a wide range of professionals, from executive leaders to technology and innovation teams. We strongly encourage attendance from executives and strategic decision-makers focused on creating forward-thinking, tech-driven strategies. Additionally, the virtual event is open to everyone, regardless of role or position, providing flexibility for professionals at all levels who are interested in learning about the future of work and AI.

What’s included in the virtual event?

The virtual event will feature a keynote, persona-based tracks, and access to specialized sessions covering AI, employee experience platforms, and strategic planning for the future of work. It provides a convenient way for attendees to access critical insights from any location.

What is the benefit of the in-person event versus the virtual event?

The in-person events in NYC and Toronto provide exclusive networking opportunities, live demos, interactive workshops, and deeper engagement with speakers and peers. These sessions are particularly beneficial for leaders looking to make meaningful connections and gain hands-on experience with emerging technologies. The virtual event, however, offers accessibility and flexibility, making it easy for individuals across all roles to attend and learn from anywhere.
