The first Internet fundraising seminars took place in the UK just three years ago
at the end of 1995. Now, this year’s Professional Fundraising Conference and Show
is being sponsored by an e-commerce solutions company that serves charities. [eCharity.com](http://www.e-charity.com)
was launched earlier this year by the MM Group. In fact, you can hear Ian Hughes,
Group Sales & Marketing Director at MM Group speak at the Show. He will be presenting
a free lunchtime seminar from 12.45-13.45 on Friday 6 November.
