For once I've managed to plan my National Convention schedule in advance. As always
though, while I look forward to many sessions, I realise that there are many that
look very good but which I will miss out on.

This year's Convention consists of 120 sessions divided into eight thematic tracks,
and flagged as to whether they are aimed at beginners, experienced or senior fundraisers:

 *  community, events and volunteers
 *  corporate fundraising
 *  digital fundraising
 *  individual giving
 *  major donors
 *  personal effectiveness
 *  the bigger picture
 *  trusts and statutory

Here are 10 sessions whose titles alone intrigue me:
