Other speakers include Sacha Tremain, Rob Grimes (The National Trust) and Mair Bosworth (ActionAid), speaking on the fundraiser/researcher relationship.
For the first time the conference will be split into two parts, with Matt Ide and Finbar Cullen speaking about the fundamentals of prospect research (for those new to prospect research) and Holly Cranage and Helen Carpenter of NSPCC’s highly respected prospect research team speaking on how to drive fundraising in your organisation and manage prospect relationships.
The conference is sponsored by Factary who will be officially launching Factary Phi, undoubtedly one of the most exciting new products for fundraisers and researchers for many years.
At only £30 (£25 for IoF members) the conference is excellent value for money compared to other one-day conferences and promises to have something for everyone, from newbie researcher up to experienced professional.
As usual, there will be numerous networking opportunities and an expert panel in the afternoon to answer any research queries you may have.
All researchers, major gift fundraisers, and general fundraisers welcome.
See you there!
