UK Fundraising’s latest Perfect Pitch event will take place in London on 21 February,
offering a showcase of presenters speaking on direct/email marketing and donor retention/
management.

Confirmed speakers include digital marketing agency **White Box Digital**, data 
based solutions provider **Occam**, online superstore **giveortake.com**, which 
raises funds for charities through online shopping, and **Blackbaud**, the global
provider of software and related services designed specifically for not-for-profit
organisations.

Each speaker shares details of their expertise and insight for up to 30 minutes,
demonstrating how their services and products can assist charities and voluntary
organisations. Delegates can then question the speakers for up to five minutes, 
and a final panel session at the end of the event ensures delegates can get all 
their questions answered.

The event, the seventh in the innovative series of Perfect Pitches, is presented
at no charge to the delegates by UK Fundraising, the web resource for fundraisers
published since 1994.

UK Fundraising’s publisher Howard Lake said: “The UK Fundraising Perfect Pitches
aim to bring charities face to face with some of the leading suppliers in the sector
to help them find out how the variety of innovative tools and services on the market
can help them improve their charity’s effectiveness. Given UK Fundraising’s extensive
contacts within the fundraising sector, they are also valuable opportunities for
suppliers to meet and communicate with an audience interested in their particular
area of expertise.”
