ONE 2025: The OTUS Nonprofit Exchange
Real Conversations. Practical Ideas. Built for Nonprofit Leaders.
🚨 Just Announced: Sam Laprade is joining the stage!
Broadcaster, fundraiser, and fierce nonprofit advocate Sam Laprade brings a straight-talking, heart-forward perspective on what really matters in our sector today. If you want to hear from someone who’s walked the walk—don’t miss this.
Please note: The ONE Forum will be held at the EY Centre.
The networking lunch will take place separately at Anderson Links Golf & Country Club.
ONE (The OTUS Nonprofit Exchange, formerly OAX) is more than a half-day event—it’s a response to what we’ve heard from hundreds of nonprofit and association leaders across Canada:

“We want to connect with our peers, share openly, and walk away with ideas that actually help.”

So that’s exactly what ONE is built to do.
If you’re navigating change, rethinking your funding model, managing a burnt-out team, or just craving real connection with peers who get it—this event is for you.
🔹 What to Expect
This isn’t your typical conference. You’ll get a mix of high-level insight, peer-driven discussion, and practical tools you can take back to your team.
🔹 Survey Insights with David Coletto, Abacus Data
David breaks down the results of the 2025 ONE Survey—what’s keeping nonprofit leaders up at night, what’s shifting in public trust, and what it all means for strategy, staffing, and funding in the year ahead.
🔹 Panel: Leading Through Uncertainty
Moderated by Tony Lyons, this panel explores what it takes to lead when nothing feels predictable. We’ll dig into succession planning and how to build financial resilience when the future feels foggy.
🔹 HR on the Edge: Navigating Global Shifts, Trends & Talent Strategy + Peer Roundtables with Karen Brownrigg
From recruiting and retention to hybrid policies and hard conversations—no HR topic is off-limits. Then dive into peer-led roundtables to swap insights with other nonprofit leaders.
🔹 Revenue Reimagined: A Real-World Look at What’s Working
Presented by Cherry Chan, CEO of OTUS
Grants and donations aren’t enough anymore. In this direct, practical session, Cherry will unpack how real nonprofits are generating revenue outside of dues, donations, and government funding—drawing from OTUS’s experience supporting over 300 organizations and its bold $50 million sustainability challenge.
🔹 Choose Your Experience
Start with breakfast and networking, then dive into expert panels, honest conversations, and practical tools. Want to keep the conversation going? Join us for an optional lunch and golf at Anderson Links Golf & Country Club.
You’ve got options:

The ONE Forum
ONE + Lunch
ONE + Lunch + Golf

⛳ Location: Anderson Links Golf & Country Club, Ottawa
🕛 Timing: Immediately after the forum (details in your confirmation email)
🎟️ Tickets: Choose your experience when you register.
🎯 Who Should Attend

Nonprofit and association leaders
Executive Directors and CEOs
Senior staff in finance, operations, strategy, and communications
Board members ready to think differently about sustainability and growth

If you’re leading through complexity and ready to stop doing things the same old way—this room is for you.
Space is limited. This is a small-format, high-impact event designed for candid conversations and useful takeaways—not another one-way stage show.
