About this event
Goodie Nation is using #GivingTuesday2025 to do more than look back. This gathering is a chance to see where the community is headed next, hear how the 2026 strategy is taking shape, and get in the room with people who care about building something bigger together. If the phrase We Have Friends Everywhere means anything, it means this: the network is real, the momentum is growing, and the next chapter will be shaped in community. About the Event This is an in-person community gathering centered on Goodie Nation's 2026 strategy and the relationships that will help bring it to life. Taking place on Tuesday, December 2 at 12:00 PM EST, the event is designed for people who want a clearer view of where the organization is going and how that direction connects to the broader community around it. Rather than treating strategy like a closed-door document, this event opens the conversation up. The theme, We Have Friends Everywhere, signals a focus on connection, partnership, shared belief, and the people who make the work possible across different communities and circles. Expect the tone to be thoughtful, social, and grounded. This is not just a presentation for passive listening. It is a moment to gather in person, reflect on the meaning of #GivingTuesday, and understand how Goodie Nation is thinking about impact, community, and the year ahead. What to Expect You can expect a format that balances strategy, storytelling, and community connection. At the center of the event is the unveiling of Goodie Nation's 2026 strategy: what matters most, what priorities are emerging, and how the organization is thinking about the future. The session will likely feel most valuable to attendees who want both the big picture and the human picture. That means hearing about direction and vision, while also getting a stronger sense of the relationships, ideas, and shared commitments behind that vision. What the experience may include: A welcome tied to the spirit and significance of #GivingTuesday2025 A strategic overview of where Goodie Nation is headed in 2026 Reflections on the theme We Have Friends Everywhere and what it says about community power Space to connect in person with others who care about social impact, mutual support, and collective momentum Informal networking and conversation with fellow attendees Because this is an in-person event, the value is not limited to the formal program. Some of the most useful moments may come from the conversations before, during, and after the main session: hearing how others interpret the strategy, finding points of alignment, and making connections that continue beyond the day itself. Why Attend If you care about where Goodie Nation is going, this event gives you direct access to the thinking behind the next phase. You will leave with a better understanding of the organization's priorities for 2026 and the broader context shaping those priorities. This is also a strong fit if you value being in rooms where community is treated as infrastructure, not just atmosphere. The theme makes clear that relationships matter here. Attending means stepping into a live network of people who are paying attention, showing up intentionally, and looking for ways to contribute, collaborate, or stay connected. Reasons this event may be worth your time: You want an early, clearer read on Goodie Nation's 2026 direction You are energized by community-centered strategy, not just announcements You want to meet people who care about social impact, networks, and shared action You appreciate events that combine substance and connection You want to mark #GivingTuesday in a way that feels thoughtful and forward-looking There is also value in simply being present for an important moment. Strategy reveals what an organization believes, what it is choosing to prioritize, and how it hopes to move with others. If that kind of clarity matters to you, this is the right room to be in. Practical Details Event: Goodie Nation on #GivingTuesday2025 | Unveiling Our 2026 Strategy: We Have Friends Everywhere Date: Tuesday, December 2 Time: 12:00 PM EST Format: In person Tags: other, community, networking, meetup, social Because the event takes place at midday, plan for a gathering that fits into the middle of your day while still offering meaningful time for connection and conversation. If you are attending in person, it is worth arriving a little early so you can settle in and meet people before the main program begins. This event is especially well suited to attendees who want a live, shared experience rather than a purely informational update. The in-person format supports the theme: a strategy reveal is important, but a strategy shared in community is often where the real energy starts. If you are deciding whether to make time for it, the simplest answer is this: if you want to understand the next chapter of Goodie Nation and be around the people who care about that chapter too, this is a smart place to be on #GivingTuesday2025.
