My Advice: Register for NextGen:Charity 2011

The gents who co-founded the inaugural NextGen:Charity conference this year are offering a deep, deep discount on registration for next year’s NextGen.

Jonah Halper and Ari Teman priced early registration at $150 for the 2-day conference. Standard registration is $650.

You save $500, or 77%. No brainer.

Early registration has been available for about a month and it ends on December 25th. Next year’s dates are November 17-18 in New York City. Register at the NextGen website.

The conference mission is “to help you run your organization more effectively and efficiently, and connect with donors and your community more powerfully.” You can see the marquee name presenters they had this year. If you scroll down from that august array–you’ll see me.

Aside from delivering a workshop on day two, on the first day I interviewed 10 of the superstars for my radio show. You sit with these people face-to-face for 15 or 20 minutes and you have to walk away impressed. I’m certain next year’s lineup will be equally inspiring and influential. Jonah and Ari know they have to deliver.

Whatever your faith or nationality, buy yourself a valuable and right-priced Christmas gift–before Boxing Day.

I met Ken through Chris Forbes (link to Forbes post) at the NextGen after party on day one. I interviewed him in the old bank vault (now private dining room) at Johnny Utah’s about WATERisLIFE and his water filter that is built into a straw. Have a look.

Jonathan is the co-founder of Ethos Water, and a professor in the Anderson School of Management at UCLA. He applies microeconomic theory to the charitable sector to develop the theory of the impact economy.

Watch as this thoughtful intellectual guides me through a heady subject that I was talking about for the first time. Thanks, Jonathan.

I interviewed him at the NextGen, day one, after-party at Johnny Utah’s. We talked in a bank vault, surrounded by (empty) safe deposit boxes. Props to Utah’s coat check women for finding us a mostly-quiet place. I tipped them well.

Watch Jonathan educate me.
