This week saw the three-day Institute of Fundraising National Convention take place
in London. The biggest event for fundraisers in Europe, according to the Institute,
was packed with fundraisers and fundraising suppliers (it sold out), and with inspiring
and practical sessions and presentations.

Here is my attempt to present a flavour of the first day, combining content from
speakers, delegates and others. It is the first of three daily summaries which I
am still adding to as I come across more useful content, so expect these reports
to be expanded further over the next few days.
