SIGAP is grateful to Duke University for hosting the upcoming Strategic Initiatives Conference (SIC) in person from Sunday, August 6 to Tuesday, August 8, 2023. 

​

At each conference, we aim to provide meaningful discussions where lessons learned are analyzed and shared in a replicable way. Previous topics have included: 

• Insights on the largest SI gifts of recent years, including presentations by peers

• Best practices for staffing, launching, engaging, and sunsetting strategic initiatives 

• Due diligence and scrutiny of complex gift structures

• Inter-institutional and multi-institutional SI gift collaborations

This year, we will welcome MIT President Sally Kornbluth as one of our keynote speakers!
