**The first ever Telephone Fundraising Convention will be held on 10 March 2004 
in Fife, Scotland, by telephone fundraising agency Premier Contact in partnership
with Professional Fundraising.**

The convention, at Balbirnie House Hotel, Fife, is the first UK convention devoted
solely to the future of telephone fundraising. Speakers include Tony Elischer of
Think Consulting Solutions; Paul Farthing of Target Direct; Henk Smit of the Fundraising
Company, Amnsterdam; Daryl Upsall of Daryl Upsall Consulting International, Madrid;
and Dorothy Wheeler of Premier Contact.

Sessions will cover what is happening in Europe, face to face and the telephone,
telephone technology, and the telephone as a fundraising or marketing tool.

The day ends with the unusual offer – in terms of most of the conventions that we
have been to – of some homemade cakes with tea.

The delegate fee is £140 and accommodation is offered at an extra fee at four nearby
hotels.
