Join CauseMic for an all-expenses-paid executive workshop!

The workshop

Better Together: Uniting Development and Communications through Tech

Why attend?

Poor team alignment could be your biggest hidden expense. Join fellow nonprofit executives in this high-impact workshop to identify the true cost of misalignment between your Development, Communications, and Technology teams, and walk away with actionable steps for bringing them together through a unified tech stack.

Why this workshop’s different

This isn't a lecture. You'll actively participate in structured problem-solving exercises, identify the disconnects that drive the biggest inefficiencies for your organization, and see live demonstrations of how technology can solve those challenges.
