“The conference was absolutely the very best one I've been to in many years. So much new and exciting information. You all did a fabulous job!”
“The material covered on gift planning was excellent. I enjoyed meeting many people from different organizations. I am leaving with a list of things I can do right now to improve my program.”
“I took away many good ideas and some things that I can implement as soon as I get back to the office. I enjoyed being around other professionals who have similar responsibilities. I found validation. Thanks!”
“Planned giving is new to our healthcare system, so this was very informative and helpful. I enjoyed both speakers during the lunch sessions and the breakouts I attended.”
“I have been at my organization for many years, but I am fairly new to planned giving. I felt the conference provided me with very useful information. Reconfirming some of the information that I know and also providing great insights that will help me with understanding what will resonate with my donors and to find out what is important to them.”
“I had the opportunity to network with other professionals in my field as well as connect with Crescendo staff.”
“I enjoyed learning more about major gifts, planned giving and how to use the Crescendo software.”
“This was one of the best opportunities I've had - the speakers were phenomenal and I walked away both excited about our organization getting our Crescendo product up and running and becoming more knowledgeable about planned giving. I'm hoping to bring our entire frontline team next year!”
“Food was exceptionally good, the location was beautiful and there were some legendary speakers.”
“It was a good refresher and good to hear perspectives from people in the business. I give it 5 stars!”
“I attended with my boss this year and it was amazing for her to hear what I was learning instead of me bringing the ideas back. It legitimized what I had been saying for years!”
“I really appreciated the sessions from other organizations or ministries that gave practical advice or shared how they ran a certain campaign and how we could duplicate that for ourselves.”
“The seminars were insightful and full of updated information. The seminar presenters were absolutely amazing.”
“I really enjoyed meeting everyone in attendance. There was a real sense of collegiality. There was a nice variety of topics and they were spaced out in such a way that I was able to attend almost every session that I wanted to. I also appreciate that everything stayed on schedule and things were run smoothly and efficiently.”
“I learned so much. It was so helpful to meet other people with similar responsibilities and lots more experience!”
“Excellent location, top notch experience and fantastic speakers. My favorite conference every year!”
“It's a very busy time of year for someone like me who is both the Major Gifts and Planned Giving Director for my organization, so taking time away has to be worth it. The PPGC conference was well worth my time and effort! I came away with increased knowledge and some solid tools to employ right away to strengthen our fundraising efforts and raise more money for the good work we do!”
