This is the volunteer management conference presented by AL!VE, Better Impact, and VMPC (Volunteer Management Professionals of Canada). Now in its ninth year, this year's topic will focus on the quickly changing landscaping of technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI).
The generation of volunteers in the not too distant future will be very different compared to volunteers now. How can we prepare our policies, programs and recruitment in an inclusive, responsible, and creative way that looks to leverage technology in a human world?
Our current streaming event will consist of three 25 minute presentations, local discussion in smaller groups, followed by a moderated discussion with the other presenters (think Ted talk meets late night tv), including responding to questions from the audience.
The broadcast will be streamed live in the United States and Canada, with the likelihood of an audience of 1000 or more. In order to participate, you will need an internet connection strong enough to handle audio/video streaming and adequate computer or external speakers.
You can learn more about the conference by watching this informational video, and by visiting the main conference website.
