APRA-Canada Conference 2012: Leading Discovery


A biennial tradition for our Canadian chapter, details about our upcoming conference are taking shape.
 

Recently, the conference planning committee met to brainstorm around the event's theme that reflects the content and spirit of the program. After tossing around many ideas, we came to "Leading Discovery". In our social media age, prospect researchers are taking the lead in harnessing new tools to find information and uncover leads not thought possible at the start of this decade. In 2012, we're coming together to explore topics and trends in prospect identification, professional and personal leadership, global research and innovative resources - to reinforce our quest as leaders in discovery.
 

We look forward to seeing you next year!

This Canadian conference draws prospect researchers and fundraisers from across the country, which results in a rich environment for sponsors to network.
