Tradeshow Donations

Must-attend Meeting Will Showcase Best-in-Class Product Philanthropy Programs

Hear about best-in-class corporate giving programs at the first-ever Innovation In Product Giving Conference (www.giftsinkind.org/ProductGivingConference) to be held in October in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. Non-cash donations now represent nearly half of the corporate giving total, making it the right time to bring together top leaders and managers to share best practices and hear about today's most innovative product-giving programs. Attendees from a wide range of disciplines--from corporate executives to supply chain specialists--will hear from the leaders in the field and learn how others are developing product-giving programs that meet business goals and address today's most important social issues. Featured workshop presenters will include representatives from The Home Depot, Wal-Mart, HP, H&M, Office Depot, Men’s Wearhouse, IBM, UPS, Anna’s Linens and many others.

Just a few of the topics to be covered include:

• Emerging Trends in Product Philanthropy
• How to Align Product-giving Programs with Business Objectives
• Reducing Your Corporate Environmental Footprint
• Driving Supply Chain Profitability with Product Donations
• Donating from the Point-of-Sale
• And Much More!

A few of the keynote speakers recently confirmed include Andrew Savitz,
author of The Triple Bottom Line: How the Best Companies are Achieving Economic, Social and Environmental Success and Charles Moore of the Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy.
