About the Conference

At Vantage Point, our mission is to “promote connected communities by nurturing a strong non-profit sector. We deliver high-quality training, resources, and advocacy that builds connection, creativity, and impact in the sector.” The British Columbia Non-Profit Leadership Conference (BCNPLC) is our premier event designed to fulfill that exact purpose and to bring together non-profit leaders from across the province to develop our collective strength.

The BC Non-Profit Leadership Conference is where non-profit leaders from all varieties of organizations can share innovative ideas and collaborate on solutions that drive positive change. Attendees have the opportunity to engage in a variety of workshops, panel discussions, and networking sessions designed to enhance their leadership skills and organizational effectiveness. Our carefully curated sessions focus on the latest trends and best practices in non-profit management, ensuring that participants leave with deeper connections, quality resources, actionable insights and effective strategies.

Together, we can strengthen the work of our communities and amplify the impact of our collective efforts.
