What is KeyCon?
A conference for all nonprofit professionals
Just as Pennsylvania is the Keystone State, nonprofits are the keystone of thriving communities. This conference brings those essential forces together. Formerly known as Nonprofit Day, KeyCon is a respected event, established in 2001 by The Nonprofit Partnership in Erie, Pennsylvania. What started as a one-day occasion has evolved over the years into a multi-day conference, offering a wealth of educational content, extensive networking opportunities, and an infusion of fun.
At KeyCon, we believe in empowering nonprofit professionals like you with the knowledge and connections necessary to excel in the field. Our conference is designed to provide a comprehensive experience, packed with insightful sessions, interactive workshops, and engaging discussions led by industry experts.
The nonprofit sector is
unstoppable
The nonprofit sector is a powerful force for good—driven by purpose, fueled by passion, and built on a legacy of resilience. In the face of complex challenges, shifting landscapes, and limited resources, we show up. We adapt. We keep going. But it’s time we stop just surviving—and start realizing just how unstoppable we truly are.
​
We are not defined by scarcity or setbacks. We are defined by our unwavering commitment to community, justice, equity, and progress. When we stand together—sharing knowledge, building partnerships, and amplifying one another’s strengths—there is no limit to what we can accomplish.
​
The Keystone Nonprofit Conference is a space to reignite that momentum. Through energizing keynotes, skill-building sessions, and real conversations, we’ll explore what it means to lead boldly, collaborate strategically, and take our missions further than ever before.
​
We’re not just here to do good. We’re here to be unstoppable.
