The Chartered Institute of Fundraising, Chartered Institute of Fundraising Scotland, and the Resource Alliance have all put out calls for speaker proposals for next year’s events.
Speaker proposals are invited for July’s Fundraising Convention, September’s Scottish Fundraising Conference, and IFC.
The Chartered Institute of Fundraising’s Fundraising Convention 2023 will be taking place at the QEII Centre in London – a departure from the usual Barbican venue. It is now looking for content for the event and welcomes ideas.
