2026 Speed Networking Event

Description

One conversation can change everything.

Join YDMAW for our fifth annual speed networking event on Thursday, September 24 for an evening built around the connections that shape careers.

Whether you’re looking for guidance, new ideas, future collaborators, or the opportunity to help someone else grow in their career, this event brings together professionals from across the fundraising and marketing community for meaningful conversations.

Attendees will have the chance to rotate through a series of small-group discussions with peers, industry leaders, and members of the YDMAW Advisory Committee. You might meet a future mentor, business partner, hiring connection, or be that person for someone else!

Don't miss this energizing evening of career growth and relationship-building.
You never know, the right conversation at the right moment might change the course of your career.

Save Your Spot!
