The 2018 OFN Conference brought 1,450 CDFI practitioners, funders, investors, students, and more to Chicago for two and a half days of intensive learning and networking. Together, across more than 90 sessions, we learned what it takes to be an Agent of Change. We examined our past and looked forward for new ways to address the challenges facing our communities and transform them into opportunities.
Over 48 hours, more than 1,400 CDFI practitioners, staff, and partners participated in or attended four plenaries and more than 60 sessions and events. Enjoy our day-by-day photo albums on Facebook—tag yourself, friends, and colleagues!
The OFN Conference provides an unparalleled platform for Sponsors and Exhibitors to connect and do business with CDFIs and an ever-growing audience of investors, consultants, supporters, and others. For more information , download the sponsorship brochure or contact Amanda Joseph at 215-320-4323.
