RISE only shares limited attendee information with our official conference sponsors as part of their sponsorship benefits. We never sell or broadly distribute attendee lists. Unfortunately, there are fraudulent organizations that claim to have our lists and may try to sell them. Please know these solicitations are scams. If you receive one, we recommend deleting it and not engaging with the sender.

Giving back is a core part of the RISE experience. At many of our events, we partner with national and local organizations to create hands-on opportunities that allow attendees, speakers, sponsors, and staff to support the communities that host us. Our initiatives have included packing meals with U.S. Hunger, serving meals at local soup kitchens, painting community murals with the Foundation for Hospital Art, and assembling care kits for Children’s Advocacy Centers. 

When applicable, we donate surplus food and beverages from our events to local organizations to reduce waste and extend our impact.

Give-back initiatives vary by event and location, but our commitment to making a positive, local impact remains the same.
