Learnings and Inspiration

Every year we seek to strike a balance between stoking passion and learning skills. Below is a collection of testimonials and reasons to come to Create Good.

There are rock star speakers nationally and locally that want to share their inspiration with you.

We've had speakers from Human Right Campaign (HRC), Black Lives Matter, RAICES, and American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) as well as Girl Scouts, Conservation Trust for North Carolina.

You can learn across issues areas, sectors, and disciplines.

We believe that the different issues and sectors can learn from each others. So that's why we have nonprofit communicators from across interest areas and disciplines in the same room.

You can take real learnings and real skills home from Create Good.

One of our guiding principals when it comes to the conference has always been "what can attendees take back to their desk on Monday?"

Over the past four years there's been sessions on:

  • Tips to have more successful media pitches
  • Elements of storytelling and how to get started
  • How to make your Facebook advertising campaign more effective
  • Using pop culture to get your cause mainstream
  • How to reach millennials
  • Power of design in nonprofit communications

The jolt of inspiration you get at Create Good can drive you at work or in your personal life.

In addition to hard skills we aim to reignite passion of our fellow nonprofit communicators. This passion is what drives our organizations forward.
