Ask the Experts (ATE) is an annual one-day conference on fundraising hosted by AFP-GHC.

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with vendors as well as network with other conference attendees at Affinity Tables which will each present a specific topic open for a round table discussion.
The luncheon will feature celebrity speaker Uchenna Agu, philanthropist and winner of CBS “Amazing Race” Season 7.
“I am very excited about this year’s conference because it has grown a great deal and we are able to offer so much for such a low price,” explained conference chair Sean D. Carter, CFRE. “This year’s ATE will offer over 40 educational sessions! The conference is still focused on new development professionals, but this year we will also have sessions that will appeal to mid-level and advanced professionals, as well as courses that will be CFRE approved and an ACFRE Track.”
