At the Essential Tech for Nonprofits in 2026: Ideas, Tools, and Action event, Laurie brought fun to the table with the “Dessert Dash” strategy for live events.
This gamified tactic encourages table-wide competition to raise thousands of dollars in minutes before the dessert course is served. Creating high-energy, shared experiences can significantly boost donor participation compared to static auctions.
The Top Technology Trends for Nonprofits in 2026 is TechSoup Connect Canada's annual flagship event. They bring together a dynamic lineup of nonprofit tech experts, who will share their knowledge in a unique, high-energy format. Each speaker will present a 5-minute "thought bomb"—a rapid-fire, focused presentation on a single, crucial topic.
