Join Grantmakers in the Arts throughout 2012 for its third annual series of Web Conferences. Designed for both emerging and veteran arts grantmakers, these online presentations provide information from the cutting edge of the field and revisit the time-tested programs and policies that inform our day-to-day practice. This year's lineup of arts philanthropy leaders and innovators will address key topics of interest to arts grantmakers, including some second looks at popular 2011 GIA Conference sessions.
Each dynamic, 50-minute presentation includes audience interactive features that enable all participants to directly engage the presenters.
This series is free to the staff and board members of GIA member organizations. The fee for nonmembers is $35 per session.

In late 2012 GIA will produce additional Web Conferences that revisit popular sessions or keynotes from the 2012 GIA Conference in Miami Beach, October 14-17. Responding to participant feedback, these additional presentations will afford those who do not attend the conference an opportunity to experience Conference highlights, and will allow 2012 Conference attendees the opportunity to ask questions and broaden the discussion.
