Learn about technologies that are likely to have a disruptive impact on the nonprofits sector

New technologies and business models are having a transformational impact not only in the private sector, but increasingly in the public and nonprofits sectors as well. It is safe to project that, in 10 years time, the nonprofit sector will look quite differently from what it is now.

Who will be the new players in the nonprofit and humanitarian world? What new business models are emerging? From Airbnb providing emergency housing to flood affected populations to peer-to-peer energy lending: are new technologies enabling alternative infrastructure for resilience that will supersede traditional nonprofit players? In this webinar, our speaker will examine these questions and try to shed light on the rapidly evolving landscape.
