Top 10 Reasons to Attend ELEVATE, The Gateway Conference on Philanthropy

After many creative virtual events over the last few years, the landscape of in-person gatherings has evolved, and we’re here for it!

While hybrid and virtual events are still prevalent and provide greater access for all abilities to be included, it can be exciting to have some old-fashioned face time to collaborate and innovate. As Buzzbold began navigating in-person events this year, we’ve been coming back with renewed energy for those we serve. August 4th 2022 lets continue that engagement at the upcoming ELEVATE conference, Presented by AFP Saint Louis.
