- Business Leaders and Managers
- Nonprofit Executives, Leaders, and Volunteers
- Marketing, Public Relations and Communications Leaders
- Human Resources Directors and Hiring Managers
- Community Leaders
Who presents at THE Conference?

- THE Conference will also accept applications for presentations through November 30, 2010. Information about the application process is available at Call for Presenters Page
What else do I need to know about THE Conference 2011? THE Conference 2011 brings together two complementary organizations: The Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber and the Northeastern PA Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals – two leading organizations serving the business and nonprofit communities. Because of this partnership, we will offer several strategic ‘tracks’ including a fundraising boot camp, How-To Theatre – complete with hands-on take-aways, and a new leadership track.
Additional workshop selection is based heavily on participant feedback from THE Conference 2010 and Philanthropy Forum 2009.
