First one-day conference by IT special interest group
The IT special interest group of the Institute of Fundraising is to hold its inaugural one-day conference on 5 May 2005.
The one-day conference features two keynote speakers and eight breakout sessions on a wide range of topics.
The organisers have set a limit of 80 delegates for the event, but so as not to put people off, they say that the 80th person to book will get in for free.
