4:00 p.m. - 5:15 p.m. — Increasing Trust Amid Decreasing Attention
Peer Learning Session
Nonprofit leaders and funders alike say storytelling is simultaneously one of their greatest needs and greatest challenges. Attention is increasingly fragmented and audiences are fatigued by marketing campaigns and clever pitches. In this session, you will learn how increasing the dimensionality of your storytelling can reinvigorate connection with your audiences and illuminate new dimensions of your authentic "why."
Speaker(s): Evan Feinberg, Senior Vice President , Stand Together; Kate Schmidgall, Director, BitterSweet Creative
