Changed for Good: Donate Life Symposium Aug. 25

This year’s Donate Life Symposium is built around a simple but powerful idea: different paths brought us here, but the impact we make together changes lives for good.

Join us on August 25, 2026 at the UofL Shelby Campus as supporters from across the region gather for more than a training. This will be a shared experience rooted in purpose, connection, and the life-saving mission of organ, eye and tissue donation.

Whether you are a driver’s license employee, healthcare professional, first responder, clerk, coroner, volunteer, donor family member, or advocate, you have seen firsthand how donation transforms lives. Recipients are given a second chance. Families find meaning in loss. Communities come together in ways they never expected.

No one leaves this work unchanged.

Inspired by Wicked’s “For Good,” this year’s theme reflects the lasting impact of donation and the connections that shape this mission every day. “Because I knew you, I have been changed for good.”

This is more than a lyric. It is the heartbeat of the day.

We’ve invested in dynamic keynote speakers you may recognize from America’s Got Talent, along with thoughtfully curated sessions designed to educate, energize, and connect attendees across disciplines.

Because when we come together, we do more than learn. We connect. We grow. We support families. We save lives.
