Looking for a good networking/trade event, to source vendors exc.

I manage IT operations at a nonprofit, and recently our membership section of our tech stack became part of my responsibilities. I'm relatively new to CRM software, and know I will need to hire someone full time or spend an equal amount to manage our salesforce. I was brought into this as I have more of a background in system administration, and a lot of our tied in apps break frequently or need reevaluation. (our software review process before me was nonexistent)

I have found events to be a good place to make connections, but also get honest information from my peers in the field, so I was wondering if there were any conferences or events that I should consider attending.
