The Movement Conference is where data meets purpose to build a powerful progressive community. It is a hybrid event welcoming organizers, data practitioners, non-profit staff, and our wider progressive community into a shared space to learn new technical skills, discuss challenges and opportunities facing progressive non-profits, and build on shared resources to advance the movement.
