**Tickets for SOFII’s annual fundraising ideas-sharing event ‘I Wish I’d Thought
Of That’ are now on sale.**

of. They have up to seven minutes each in which to do so. At the end of the inspiring
event, the audience is invited to vote on the best presentation.

Speakers this year include:

 

 * Kathryn Holloway
 * Owen Watkins
 * Carol Akiwumi
 * Mark Astarita
 * Daryl Upsall

 

As in previous years, three talented [‘up-and-coming’ fundraisers will also present](https://fundraising.co.uk/2017/11/07/i-want-to-talk-at-that-returns-for-2018/),
having benefited from mentoring and support from more experienced fundraisers and
presenters.

 

A year ago the audience was treated to a well-known fundraising director dressed
as Father Christmas riding a ‘[contactless reindeer](http://sofii.org/iwitot)‘.

_IWITOT can be inspiring…_

 

Ken Burnett who, with the help of [Open](http://opencreates.com/)’s co-Founders 
James Briggs and Tim Longfoot, created the event seven years ago said: “This weird
word we’ve created, IWITOT… It’s of course an acronym for I Wish I’d Thought of 
That. But it’s come to mean fast-paced, sparkly, concise creative lessons from fresh
speakers each given just seven minutes to inspire. It means the best young talent,
live on stage, airing and sharing what they believe is just great. It means electric,
contagious passion and tons of learning from and for fundraisers of all sorts, in
great causes large and small. Be there!”
