**The annual International Fundraising Congress takes place this week in the Netherlands.
Here are some tips about preparing for it, if you are fortunate to be attending,
or for following some of the content and conversations online.**

Below are some tips culled from the Resource Alliance’s reminders to delegates, 
plus some tips of my own based on previous attendances. I’ve also included some 
information on bursaries to consider applying for next year.

I’ll be reporting from IFC 2019 this week – my rail-and-sail journey there starts
tomorrow, but delegates will be arriving tomorrow for the Masterclasses. Look out
for reports on UK Fundraising, but for a more immediate sense of the event follow
what we share on:

My two suggestions for the event are:

 * if you can’t attend, do follow the **#IFCHolland** hashtag to find out what other
   fundraisers and changemakers are sharing
 * if you can attend, **share what you are learning**, plus your thoughts, with 
   the wider community of fundraisers. Start your changemaking by empowering other
   fundraisers with some of the fabulous insight you will gain this week from fundraisers
   from around the world.
