Opening Keynote Speaker: Jamais Cascio

Thriving in a Chaotic Future

Futurist Jamais Cascio will help AFP frame the future, so we can be more future-ready and more able to make our preferred futures possible. Jamais will introduce the BANI Future: Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible—and he will show us how to flip it positive by being Bendable, Attentive, Neuorflexible, and Interconnected. The future will be increasingly chaotic, but we can thrive if we frame the future accurately and spark better possibilities.

Saving Giving
Lisa Greer

In early 2012, Lisa Zola Greer and her husband Josh became members, almost overnight, of the 1%, sparking a desire to share their new wealth with impactful charitable causes. After making major gifts with some frustrations, Lisa wanted to look deeper. She found that most fundraising is antiquated, inefficient, unsustainable and ripe for change. Lisa is on a mission to “Save Giving.” Through her books, Philanthropy Revolution, The Essential Fundraiser’s Handbook, teaching, and her blog, Philanthropy 451, Lisa helps nonprofits see a path to long-term success. Lisa is also a Doctoral Candidate at Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.
