2020 CGP Conference 

OCTOBER 7-9, 2020 | Chicago

CGP Conference is a unique meeting place for all professionals working in charitable gift planning. In your work, you’d love to find these people at the planning table—charitable, financial and estate advisors. At CGP Conference, you’ll sit around that training table, collaborating with the experts at the podium and with your peers, leaving with the tools to do your job better.

This conference teaches me how to talk to my donors and gives me the technical behind the scenes skills that give me the confidence in front of smart people who have smart goals for their philanthropy.
