| Since 1988, the National Convention has grown from strength to strength. If you don’t know the event, then where have you been? It is the one defining moment of every fundraiser’s year, with more learning and networking opportunities than ever. This is your chance as a fundraiser to be part of the future of the sector, a chance to listen, a chance to be heard. Over 2,000 people attended in 2008, representing over 370 different charities, from throughout the UK and Europe. With over 130 session choices, no bigger choice can be found at a fundraising conference. For the first time, Russell Thompson OBE chairs the board and has challenged them; a group of senior representatives from fundraising organisations; to develop the best ever programme. |

The place to learn
The programme has been designed to appeal to fundraisers of all levels and anyone who works for a fundraising organisation. Workshop, conference and plenary sessions provide detailed strategic analysis of the future of fundraising across all levels of experience and will appeal to those who work in charity marketing, communications, campaigning and senior management.
Meet all your training needs
The workshops operate one hour sessions, with the chance to choose from twelve sessions
every hour. These sessions are being transformed this year with the introduction of more interactive learning activities; so from singing santas to crazy surf sessions, you never know what your session may bring! There are over 130 different sessions divided between nine specialist tracks, split across three levels of competence (beginner, experienced and senior) the workshop programme offers huge variety; tracks cover the following specialist areas: Communications & PR, Community & Volunteers, Corporate, Individual Giving, Legacies, Personal Development, Strategic Leadership, Vision & Inspiration The Bigger Picture and Trusts and Major Gifts.
