PyroTalks CIC NanoConference 2020

A NanoConference, offered by PyroTalks CIC, is a first of its kind conference that answers the changing needs of how we consume knowledge. NanoConferences are concise, precise, and social by design, and help make specialist knowledge more accessible for non-profits.

Looking forward to connecting with other development practitioners at NanoConference 03 and sharing helpful career advice we have received, the advice we would give now, and some tips on how to excel in our respective domains of expertise.

Apra Talks 2020

Passionate advancement professionals are always ready to share their thoughts on “hot” topics in the industry.

Part conversation, part debate, this session will help us think critically about the tools that are shaping our work. With new tools and technologies emerging at a record pace, are we doing enough to critically evaluate the tools we use? Are they improving our work, or are they just the next shiny objects?
