Annually, Gary Hubbell Consulting convenes and hosts a small hand-picked group of social sector professionals from throughout North America for three days of intense dialogue and critical thinking. We strive to create a thought-provoking, mind-opening, and stimulating conversation about philanthropy, organizational leadership, and the sector as a whole. This deep exploration of the nature and challenges of the philanthropic environment is intended to engage, inform, and inspire senior leaders to be catalysts for change in their own organizations and communities of influence. With each GHC Conversation, we seek to establish the seeds of a continuing and enriching network that nourishes us as individuals and helps each of us change how we converse, inspire, and seek new dimensions of philanthropy.See the Conversation links below.

Past participants have described GHC Conversation in these ways:
- "A deep exploration of the nature and challenges of the philanthropic environment."
- "Enlightening, unusual in format and context, distinctive in scope and participation."
- "In these enormously challenging times, as leaders we need to give ourselves the gift of time to step away from the daily routines and take advantage of a wonderful opportunity to rejuvenate the spirit, mind and purpose. Spending a few days with colleagues who share your passion and commitment is what's needed! Your organization will be the better for the time spent."
- "A think tank for non-profit leaders interested in charting a better future for their organizations."
- "An open, refreshing, intriguing, opportunity to talk with colleagues on topics of substance with a belief that in doing so, reflection and change will emerge."
- "Three days of intense and inspiring dialogue with outstanding non-profit leaders from the U.S. and Canada."
- "An extraordinary opportunity to participate in thought-provoking, mind-opening, and stimulating conversation about philanthropy with a small group of wonderful people. You will reflect on the substance for days -- maybe months -- and you will have a "tribe" of colleagues and friends with whom you will want to continue conversation long after the Conversation is over."
- "It is an invigorating, deliberate conversation with senior colleagues."
- "A high level of discussion of important, big issues we don't take time to explore when we are on the busy treadmill that is our work life."
- "Highly intoxicating, an elixir for the philanthropic soul."
- "A rare opportunity for a sustained conversation with interesting colleagues."
- "Deeply engaging, insightful and freeing..."Conversation" participation gives us a critical edge in our success as non-profit leaders. Our cohort attacked the tough... and the hidden... questions."
