**UK Fundraising’s second Fundraising Camp takes place in Leeds. It’s a one-day ‘
unconference’-style event, in a nationwide series, which we think is the first of
its kind for fundraisers in the UK.**

An unconference is an unstructured conference: there are no set speakers and no 
set topics. As a participant you are invited to suggest a topic at the beginning
of the day. It could be something you know about, it could be a problem or a question
you have and you want help on.

Fundraising Camp works on the idea that there is a huge amount of experience and
expertise in the heads of the people who are usually the audience at a fundraising
conference. Imagine unlocking more of that expertise, not just in the 15 minute 
coffee breaks, but throughout a whole day!
