**ActionAid staff at this month’s Institute of Fundraising National Convention in
London took an innovative approach to getting the most out of the event.**

They took over a board room at the venue for the duration of the three-day Convention
and returned there after each session they attended to share lessons learned and
ideas generated. These were written down on A3 pieces of paper and post-it-type 
notes stuck on the walls round the wall.

The aim was to gather and synthesise the information gathered with a view to sharing
it with the wider fundraising department at [ActionAid](http://www.actionaid.org.uk).
