CONNECTING TECHNOLOGY AND HUMANS IN THE NON-PROFIT SPACE

Halton Non-Profit Congress: Saturday October 3, 2026 at the Milton Senior's Activity Centre

The Halton Non-Profit Congress is the region’s premier professional development event, bringing together nonprofit leaders, staff, and volunteers for a dynamic day of learning, connection, and growth. This year’s theme, “Connecting Technology and Humans in the Non-Profit Space,” explores how organizations can effectively harness emerging tools while staying grounded in the human relationships that drive meaningful impact. Attendees will gain practical insights into balancing innovation with empathy—leveraging technology to enhance, not replace, the authenticity and community focus that define the sector.

Featuring keynote speaker Erin Spink, MA, an internationally recognized non-profit professional whose work includes the first-ever academic research quantifying the concept of "volunteer engagement", the Congress will inspire participants to think critically about how digital transformation can strengthen mission-driven work. Designed for organizations of all sizes, with a particular focus on completely volunteer-led organizations in the sport, recreation, arts, culture, and environmental sub-sectors, this event underscores the importance of investing in the ongoing education and development of both staff and volunteers.

Whether you are building capacity, adapting to new tools, or seeking to deepen your community connections, the Halton Non-Profit Congress offers the knowledge, networks, and inspiration needed to thrive in an evolving landscape.
