In mid-April our team members from around the country (and Germany too!) gathered in Washington, D.C. for the 2024 Global Impact Ventures All-Staff Conference – our first full, in-person convening since the pandemic! We had four busy days of presentations, break-out sessions, and team-bonding activities that all tied into the conference theme “Better Together: Unite, Transform, and Thrive.” The energy and enthusiasm were palpable throughout the week, and we’re ready to carry this momentum forward as we continue to serve all of philanthropy for a better world.

Check out some fun photos of our team members uniting, transforming, and thriving below!
