Volunteer Management Hybrid Conference

Registration Closes October 13 at 4 PM!

This year’s topic: Embracing the Future of Volunteer Engagement, Building for Resilience & Sustainability!

Volunteer professionals are being asked to do more than ever. Organization leaders want clear outcomes. Communities expect flexibility. Technology is no longer optional.

Resources are stretched thin. And volunteer engagement is at the center of it all.

At this year's Volunteer Management Hybrid Conference on Tuesday, October 20th 2026, you will connect with peers who are navigating these same realities and asking the hard questions about what comes next.

Together, you will explore practical approaches to building more resilient, sustainable volunteer engagement strategies, and walk away with clearer direction, stronger frameworks, and the confidence to lead through change.

How does the format work?

The conference will consist of four 20-minute presentations, local discussion with us in person, followed by a moderated discussion with the other presenters (think Ted Talk meets late night tv). The broadcast will be streamed live in the United States and Canada.

Speakers

• Will be announced by September, 2026.
