Events Description

 

Whether you’re a grassroots organization, a registered nonprofit, or a charity, this event is for you.

💡 Nonprofits are doing extraordinary work—often with limited time, tools, and data. This event helps you make technology and data work for your mission, not against it.

🎤 Meet Our Speakers (and Why You’ll Want to Listen)

We’ve gathered a team of expert practitioners who live at the intersection of mission and systems. They’ll bring real stories, frameworks, and provide hands-on help during round table discussions:

· Geoff Couldrey, Chief Transformation Officer, United Way, practical insights on building digital capacity;

· Geoff Zakaib, Founder, Data for Good YYC, how to harness data to make better decisions;

· Ashley Reutlinger, Owner fractional marketing , Edge Dynamics, how to maximize Google ads to get and maintain a strong online presence;

· Alex Jackson, Founder, Experience Innovation, bridging tech and operations by applying AI to secure funding;

· Helcim, Calgary fintech, helping nonprofits understand the payment landscape;

· Laura Grant, Co-Director Alberta Bike Swap, Founder Women in Tech Unite, real world experience in building and sustaining a nonprofit through technology

💬 After Speaker presentations there will be hands-on round-table discussions with the speakers and volunteers who will help you apply what you’ve heard to your own organization.

You’ll learn how to:
📊 Use data to tell your story and strengthen funding applications
⚙️ Identify digital tools that save time and extend your team’s capacity
📈 Build systems that bring clarity and confidence to your board and donors

🤝 Plus, enjoy lots of networking — connect with data professionals and fellow nonprofit changemakers across Alberta.

Bring your laptop, your website login, and your curiosity and leave with practical tools, fresh insights, and new collaborations.

Seats are limited (one attendee per organization).
