Wrapping Up 

Conferences are a great way to discover new techniques and ideas, learn about new organizations, and connect with other professionals in your field. With COVID-19 in the mix, it means the landscape of 2022 nonprofit conferences is a little different than in years past. We hope this list helps you narrow down which events you want to attend and how you want to attend them!
