Does Partner Summit have a dress code?

Most Partner Summit attendees prefer to dress in business casual or business professional attire. On Day One, we’ll be touring a school supported by DonorsChoose, so please keep comfort in mind.

I can’t attend all three events. Can I attend just a portion of Partner Summit?

You can RSVP individually for our school visit, small team dinners, and conference. We recommend that all guests joining the conference on Day Two attend all sessions to experience the full breadth of the DonorsChoose mission.
