Annual Conference

Thirty-eighth NWPGRT Annual Conference, Thursday September 24, 2026

Present at the 38th NWPGRT Annual Conference

Do you have an interesting and unique gift scenario to share? Thoughts about a relevant topic facing our donors or industry that should be discussed among peers? Do you, through your professional or personal experience, offer a different perspective on philanthropic planning?

If so, we invite you to consider presenting at the 38th NWPGRT Annual Conference and submit your proposal to the Conference Planning Committee. Please forward this invitation to others who you think would be great conference presenters.

The NWPGRT Annual Conference is the premier opportunity in Oregon and SW Washington to advance your knowledge in planned giving, connect with professional advisors and nonprofit professionals, vendors, and experts in our field.

Proposals will be considered for one of twelve 1-hour breakout sessions, divided into three tracks based on level of experience in the field:

  • Track 1 is designed for those newer to planned giving and others who wish to strengthen their understanding of the fundamentals of our field.
  • Track 2 provides content appropriate for skilled professionals. These sessions will challenge those newer to the field and be a refresher to those who have been in the field for some time.
  • Track 3 is for the most seasoned professionals and addresses technical concepts.
Submission Deadline

To submit a proposal, please complete and send the Proposal Application no later than March 15, 2026.
