Salisbury: Nonprofit Symposium will move to Monroeville Convention Center for expanded 2026 event

Calls on nonprofit community to help shape agenda

BRADDOCK, May 27 – With nonprofit organizations playing an increasingly critical role in keeping their communities thriving, state Rep. Abigail Salisbury announced today that the fourth annual Nonprofit Symposium will move to the Monroeville Convention Center this fall to accommodate the growing demand by groups seeking to strengthen their impact.

Salisbury said the convention center’s 500-person capacity will double the space available for the day-long event. 

“Last year’s symposium drew 250 participants, which was an overflow crowd for the venue,” Salisbury said. “Having that many people come together to train and network about ways to improve their organization is a pretty amazing thing, and it helps increase the capacity of these organizations to deliver services to their community.”

Salisbury said this year’s event, which is set for Oct. 15, will include dynamic training sessions on individual fundraising, social media marketing and legal compliance – with even more topics on the way. She is calling on the nonprofit community to help shape the agenda.

“We want this event to reflect what organizations truly need right now,” Salisbury said. “If you have ideas for training areas you would like included, we want to hear from you. We’ll be expanding our schedule of events in the weeks ahead and will provide additional updates. In the meantime, I’m urging everyone to save the date.”

Salisbury said suggestions can be submitted by emailing RepSalisbury@pahouse.net or calling 412-496-9542.

Registration is required and is expected to open in September. The event will include meals and free parking.
