😍 Can we take a moment for the WellTold Merch!?

Partnering with Matt from Brandfolk was truly a delight! From binders and bags to pens and lanyards, he made finding the right merch to make WellTold a little extra magical as easy as 1-2-3.

And when we pitched him on the idea of a custom seat cushion to make attendees more comfy, he was all-in to make it happen! 😄

We 🧡 Brandfolk!

Truth: You can't have a combo in-person and live virtual conference without a stellar partner.

A heartfelt thank you to Pinnacle Productions for being a partner who listened to what we needed and made it happen.

From spectacular lighting and mic running in the room to a live broadcast of WellTold to 16 states, they did it all. 🌟

There's something special about a partnership that's built on a belief in what's possible.

When we started dreaming about the WellTold Conference, DonorDock immediately said, "Let's do this together!"

So together, we curated speakers, crafted a day of learning, and created a space for the nonprofit community. We're dang grateful for this bunch of folks who walk alongside nonprofits to help them steward relationships with donors and supporters. And we're pretty big fans of Otto, too 🐙

We can't wait to keep dreaming about what's possible in 2027 and beyond as partners in WellTold: A Nonprofit Storytelling Conference!

The Happiest Hour is a tradition at WellTold (we've done it twice, so it's a tradition, right!?) where we do a little bit of good together while connecting over an end-of-the-day beverage.

This year Thrivent Northland partnered to make the Happiest Hour possible! They connected us to Smiles for Jake, a nonprofit organization that is a su***de prevention movement spreading positivity through life-affirming actions, listening ears, and the message that everyone should have hope.

We packed 150 Smile Boxes that were distributed throughout our community.

A hearty cheers to our friends at Thrivent!

Is there a more perfect place to host a conference for mission-driven and community-connected folks than Brewhalla?

We loved every minute of being in The Magic Factory for the speaker sessions. And using the Mezzanine for coffee, connection, lunch and happiest hour? It can't be beat!

Thank you to Brewhalla's incredible crew of merry makers who made planning a breeze and cleared us for lift-off!
