Episode notes

I spent 56 hours in Washington, D.C., attending the 2026 Points of Light Conference. Was it worth the investment?

In this episode of The Nonprofit Insider Podcast, I take you inside my experience attending one of the nation's largest gatherings of nonprofit and volunteer leaders.

I pull back the curtain on my experience, including the atmosphere inside the conference and the people I met along the way. I also break down exactly what it cost me to attend, as well as the three biggest lessons I discovered during my time in the nation's capital.

Plus, I wrap up the episode by recognizing some of the incredible people who made the conference such a memorable experience.
