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.

Full event details, session schedules, speaker biographies, and a booking form can
be viewed at the IT for Charities site.
