2026 Gonser Gerber Half-Day Virtual Conference
On Demand Program
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the way advancement professionals work—from prospect research and donor engagement to communications and stewardship. While the opportunities are immense, so are the questions: How do we use AI responsibly? Where can it improve efficiency without losing the human touch? And what practical tools can we apply today to strengthen advancement outcomes?
This half-day virtual conference will guide advancement professionals through the emerging landscape of AI, providing real-world applications, thoughtful discussion, and practical takeaways. Participants will leave with both inspiration and actionable strategies to integrate AI into their advancement work with confidence and integrity.

Excellence in Advancement – Exceptional Annual Giving Programs
Annual giving involves the campaigns, strategies, and initiatives deployed each year to raise a steady, sustainable fundraising stream and to build a robust donor base. Done well, the annual giving program is also an opportunity to intentionally deepen the relationship between your organization and constituents. Institutions and programs that elevate relationships – even in your annual giving program – make better progress in the long run toward building a growing and sustainable source of annual income.
Whether you are an educational institution, nonprofit, museum, healthcare organization, and other organization, your annual giving program is the building block of a strong advancement program, and typically an entry point for donors that will go on to become your most loyal supporters.
Gonser Gerber knows the value of a strong annual giving program and has spent 75 years encouraging and assisting nonprofit organizations in building the best foundation for success, including an exceptional annual giving program.
We invite you to join us for our half-day virtual conference, part of our Excellence in Advancement series, “Exceptional Annual Giving Programs”, where we will share tools, techniques, strategies, and solutions to strengthen your annual giving program and help your institution build deeper and more meaningful relationships with your supporters. This includes understanding how to use your annual giving efforts to create greater relational connections, encouraging support of the most compelling elements of your organization’s work, attract the attention of your donors and prospects, and tell your institution’s story in a way that invites donors to take a closer step toward you.
