In a time of rapid technological change, the most successful nonprofit professionals won’t be the ones with all the answers—but the ones who ask the best questions. Curiosity is the key to innovation, adaptability, and meaningful impact, yet too often, organizations prioritize efficiency over exploration. As artificial intelligence reshapes the way we work, the ability to think critically, challenge assumptions, and seek new possibilities will determine who thrives in this new era.

In this engaging and thought-provoking keynote, Nathan Chappell, one of the world’s leading experts on AI and philanthropy, explores how nonprofit professionals at every level can unlock the power of curiosity to drive innovation and deepen their mission impact. Attendees will discover:

• How a Culture of Curiosity leads to better decision-making, stronger donor relationships, and more resilient organizations.
• The science behind curiosity and why it fuels engagement, creativity, and personal growth.
• The role of AI as a curiosity amplifier—and how to ensure it enhances, rather than replaces, human ingenuity.
• Practical strategies to cultivate curiosity in your daily work—whether you're engaging donors, crafting campaigns, or leading teams.

This keynote is for anyone working in the nonprofit sector who wants to embrace curiosity as a superpower—one that drives innovation, strengthens connections, and ensures that AI serves humanity, not the other way around.

Join us for an inspiring conversation about how curiosity can transform your career, your organization, and the future of philanthropy.
