#TAG2026

Celebrating 20 Years of TAG

Technology in mission‑driven organizations is full of real tradeoffs—and the practitioners navigating them deserve a space designed for their reality. TAG’s annual conference is just that: philanthropy tech’s home for the people who turn ideas into impact, doing work that is often complex, behind the scenes, and essential to mission enablement.

For two decades, TAG has been the only community focused exclusively on supporting technology and operations staff as they navigate the evolving landscape of technology in philanthropy. Our global conference convenes leaders from North America, the UK, and the EU to tap into community as a power source—where collaboration, peer learning, and shared responsibility fuel human‑centered approaches to technology that endure well beyond the event.

This year, we welcome the philanthropic sector to Chicago for the premier convening for grantmaking professionals—a conference built to keep people at the center of the tools, systems, and decisions that shape our work and the impact that’s possible.

Steps away from iconic attractions, flagship shopping, and the historical landmarks the city is famous for, feel at home while you experience downtown Chicago from the hotel. The Marriot’s spacious guest rooms and suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows with views of Lake Michigan or the skyline, modern furnishings, and more. Nearby experiences include the Shedd Aquarium, Wrigley Field, Navy Pier, and United Center!
