What Others are Saying
I prefer the structure of Academic Impressions conferences because each presentation is a successive step in the process, and hands-on working sessions provide opportunity to put what we’re learning to work. When we get back to the office, we can begin applying and furthering our work, instead of just bringing back a binder to sit on the shelf.

Director, Kalamazoo College Fund, Kalamazoo College
Any annual giving professional can learn something at this event. I would recommend it to everyone.
”Brandon Mulder
Director, Annual Giving, University of Redlands
I have been to many professional conferences over the last two decades, in the development field. This was by leaps and bounds the most practical, useful, interesting, and enjoyable conference I have ever attended. I have piles of notes that I eagerly typed up last night so that when I get back to the office I can implement the information right away. Very well done!
”Peggy Schick
Director, Annual Giving and Alumni Development, University of Southern Maine
A must for annual giving officers!
