Join us for lunch and networking with other Charlotte-area advancement professionals.

The ToucanTech team will share what schools around the world are doing to move the needle on engagement, plus the AI shortcuts saving advancement teams time. Then it's open conversation over lunch, and you'll leave with some colorful ToucanTech goodies and a summary of the best ideas from the day.

The event will be held at a La Belle Helene in Uptown Charlotte, with nearby parking and a lunch with a range of delicious menu options.

• A flash networking directory that's given people instant access to careers benefits
