MARC Conference 2026 (Thursday, April 16, 2026)

MARC Conference 2026

The Mid-Atlantic Regional Chapters Conference is back in person this April, and we’re excited to welcome prospect development professionals from across the region to Richmond.

Over two days, MARC 2026 will bring together researchers, analysts, and advancement professionals to share ideas, learn from one another, and dig into what’s working right now in prospect development. Sessions will highlight practical tools, emerging technology, and real-world approaches you can take back to your organization immediately.

Whether you’re early in your career or a seasoned professional, MARC offers space to learn, connect, and think more strategically about the role prospect development plays in fundraising success.

Keynote Speaker: Jim Langley, Founder, Langley Innovations

James M. Langley, President of Langley Innovations, has pioneered a number of practices that have been emulated by hundreds of institutions of higher learning. The knowledge he acquired from conceiving and conducting three path-breaking campaigns at three major institutions and the insight he gleaned from decades of research on donor behavior has been shared in five books, dozens of articles, hundreds of blog posts and scores of seminars, workshops and speeches. As a result, his expertise and insight, particularly on how institutions can adapt best to changing and unchanging philanthropic realities, is highly sought after by Canadian and U.S. institutions and professional advancement organizations.
