Share Your Gift Planning Expertise

Call for Presentations - Now Open!

We invite you to propose a breakout session for the 2019 CGP Conference in New Orleans. CGP Conference is the place where charitable gift planning professionals gather annually to learn, network and collaborate with the best in the field. 

WE’RE LOOKING FOR SESSIONS THAT ARE…

Unique: Is this a session that brings fresh ideas and insight to the gift planning community?

Engaging: Adults learn better when they are thinking out loud, not passively listening. We prefer proposals that include strong plans for active learning.

Practical: Our attendees want to leave the conference with new tools and ideas that are immediately useful in practice.

Challenging: Most of our attendees have 10 or more years of experience in charitable planning, and they’re interested in sessions that go beyond the basics.

If you have great experience to share, we want you on our faculty!

• Seasoned experts: This is the place where thought leaders gather to share trends, tools and techniques.

• Hot topics: Last year’s news is old – at CGP Conference, you’ll learn what’s happening now - and in the months to come.

• Endless networking: Enjoy multiple opportunities to connect with old friends and meet new ones.
