Imago Day is a day where leaders and innovators come together to learn and connect, all while having a great time.

Come and experience Imago Day, a memorable one-day experience where leaders learn and connect with each other as well as with experts and thought leaders. It's a day filled with learning, inspiration, creativity, and innovation.

Artificial intelligence. Experience design. The subscription economy. Forces are shaping the world of philanthropy from without. We can either tap into these forces or ignore them and miss the opportunity.

The theme of our time together is "Inspiring Tomorrow" – connecting and creating the world of tomorrow through innovation and imagination.

Imago Day has been designed to encourage leaders to engage in a meaningful and intentional exchange of ideas, shared experience, and prototyping the future. Participants will have many opportunities to connect and create bonds that will last beyond the event.

We’ll be joined by special guests with in-depth knowledge of best practices in experience design, storytelling and innovation, giving inspiration as you lead your organization.

Attendance is extremely limited, so register early to guarantee your spot.
