“How do we best balance the efficiencies that algorithms and automation offer us, with the need to maintain what feels like a genuine personal connection?” asks Nancy Hallberg, Chief Marketing Officer at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Hallberg will join a panel of Chief Digital Officers and digital leaders from prestigious non-profit organizations such as the American Museum of Natural History, The Franklin Institute, Harvard Business Review, and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts at the NYC CDO Summit, presented by Centric Digital and hosted by Thomson Reuters on April 27, 2016.

Non-profits often rely on having a close relationship with their audience and donors. “Developing donor relationships, particularly with high value donors, has traditionally been a high-touch personal endeavor,” explained Hallberg.
Whether the goal is keeping public radio listeners engaged, or connecting with a big-pocket donor, digital innovation can be a tool rather than an obstacle.
This important panel will examine the strategies and tools Chief Digital Officers need to embrace to keep a non-profit organization visible and well-funded.
The panel will include:
Eric Hellweg (Moderator): Managing Director, Digital Strategy and Editorial Director at Harvard Business Review
Hellweg leads the strategic direction for all of Harvard Business Review’s digital products, including HBR.org, the iPad app, smartphone apps, and new product development and user experience. Hellweg joined HBR in February 2006 as the organization’s first online editorial hire, and during this time, HBR.org has grown from 150k monthly uniques to nearly 6 million, and has become a leader across social media channels.
HBR.org re-launched in late 2014 and has posted record traffic and subscription sales since then, also winning the Best Design award at the Digiday Publishing Awards in March, beating out Quartz, The Guardian, and Bloomberg Politics.

Want to know what to expect at CDO Summit events?
Watch this quick video to find out:
The CDO Summit is the “must-attend” digital event of the year. The 2013, 2014 and 2015 CDO Summits received stellar endorsements from dozens of speakers and attendees alike:
“Sometimes a conference comes along that hits the trifecta – hot topic, high-caliber attendees, and stellar location. The first Chief Digital Officer Summit reached that mark with ease, and I look forward to attending the next one.”
“Congratulations and thanks to David Mathison for spotting the need for community and collaboration in the growing Chief Digital Officer space, and for having the wherewithal, network, and organizational talent to put together such a top-notch event in its inaugural year. Next year’s summit should be even more of a must-do for anyone working digital at senior levels in all kinds of businesses.”
“David, here’s a handy C^3 test for conference value: Did I learn at least three new perspectives? Check. Did I meet at least three interesting people? Check. Did I take back at least three relevant pieces of news I can use? Check. Flying colors for the Chief Digital Officer Summit 2013! Thank you so much, and yes, I’d be very pleased to participate next year!”
“Congratulations to David Mathison and his team on the simply amazing job they did on the inaugural Chief Digital Officer Summit. Probably the most informative, insightful, on target, entertaining, collaborative, thought provoking, and inspiring conferences I have ever attended. I learned more about my business and what I do in the past 12 hours than I have from any research white paper, articles or blogs over the past 12 months. The range of topics and speakers assembled were incredibly diverse, informative, collaborative, and most of all, inspiring. It has invigorated me to be the best possible professional CDO I can be. David Mathison’s skills as a moderator were impeccable, bringing out the best of the speakers and keeping the conversation flowing. His intimate and insightful knowledge of this space is only out-shined by his humility and graciousness. Kudos to David and his organizing team.”
