AI is rapidly reshaping the social impact sector—but for mission‑driven organizations, leadership means more than moving fast. It means building trust, acting responsibly, and using technology to expand human capacity, not replace it.

Join us for a thought‑provoking leadership conversation with executives from Blackbaud and McKinsey & Company on what responsible, purpose‑built AI looks like in practice—and why it matters for philanthropy today.

In this session, we’ll explore how AI can be embedded directly into mission‑critical workflows to deliver insight, scale impact, and strengthen human connection—without compromising ethics, transparency, or trust.

You’ll hear perspectives on:

  • How purpose‑built AI differs from generic enterprise tools—and why that distinction matters for social impact
  • What responsible AI leadership looks like, from governance to human oversight
  • How AI can unlock time, capacity, and insight while staying mission‑aligned
  • Key considerations for leaders navigating AI investment and organizational readiness

Who should attend: Designed for organizational leaders and board members alike, this session moves beyond hype to address the strategic and operational questions executives must answer as AI becomes a defining force in social impact.
