I2M Town Hall

Get Fresh Insights on Your PAC and Grassroots Challenges at the I2M Town Hall

Do you want instant feedback on your PAC and grassroots program challenges? Then join us at Innovate to Motivate’s® D.C. Town Halls on July 12, 2016.

Innovate to Motivate® (I2M) is an annual conference for veteran political involvement professionals. They challenge themselves through a rigorous conference curriculum of PAC and grassroots productivity topics, the science of influence as it relates to PAC and grassroots, and professional development content. A hallmark of the annual I2M conferences is information sharing among the nation’s most experienced PAC and grassroots professionals thought our Grassroots and PAC Town Halls.

How does a Town Hall work? Why should I attend?

Town Halls are candid discussions and idea sharing among your peers where you set the agenda. Attendance is intentionally limited so that each participant can share their challenge and get on the spot peer feedback and tips. The Town Halls will be facilitated to make sure each participant gets their concerns aired and discussed, although we do spend more time on the most commonly mentioned topics.

Who facilitates the Town Hall?

I2M Co-Founder and Producer, Amy Showalter, will facilitate both Town Halls. I2M faculty member Brett Kappel of Akerman will also join us to provide updates on legal developments that impact PAC professionals.

In addition, I2M volunteer leaders will be in attendance, so don’t miss this opportunity to get feedback from some of the most respected and experienced political involvement pro’s in the business!
