Wisconsin Philanthropy Network is excited to welcome this year’s conference attendees to Milwaukee for an inspiring, action-oriented two-day conference. Our conference theme, Ignite – Aspire – Engage, will invite participants to take part in deep learning and thoughtful dialogue with colleagues, as we all look to the future of what’s possible for the philanthropic sector in Wisconsin. We hope this event serves as a spark of energy, collaboration, and creative thinking that leaves attendees excited about what’s possible for their own work, as well as our collective accountability for progress on pressing issues impacting communities statewide.
