**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.
