The upcoming Tennessee Nonprofit Conference, taking place September 29 & 30, 2026, in the Franklin/Cool Springs area, is officially shaping up to be our biggest event yet. Joining bestselling author Tamsen Webster and National Council of Nonprofits President & CEO Diane Yentel on the main stage is our newly announced closing keynote speaker, Britt Mitchell.
What do people say about your organization when you are not in the room? It is not your mission statement or your annual report that lingers, but the actual story they experience. In the final session of the conference, titled “You Are the Brand: Every Role, Every Room — Elevating Nonprofit Success Through Story and Brand,” Mitchell will challenge every attendee to rethink how an organization’s narrative is built and sustained.
As the founder of Dream Bigger Now TODAY, Mitchell is a Wharton-certified Executive Presence Coach, a Brand Innovators 40 Under 40 honoree, and a former Global Head of Enablement who built Stevie Award-winning programs for one of the world’s leading Fortune 500 data platforms.
This closing keynote moves beyond traditional marketing strategies to address the internal culture of storytelling. Regardless of job title—whether an executive director, an administrative assistant, or the first point of contact answering the phones—every single role shapes the organizational brand. Attendees will leave with a renewed understanding of how to take ownership of their organization’s most powerful asset.
With our keynote speakers locked in and an exceptional lineup of breakout speakers to be announced in the coming weeks, this year’s conference offers unprecedented opportunities for professional growth and sector collaboration. Do not miss out on the premier event of the year for nonprofit professionals. You can learn more about our closing speaker’s work here.
