Hope In Times Of Disruption

The first conference day will come full circle with a chance to pause, share and learn from our collective experiences of fundraising.

Together, we will share our key lessons learned from fundraising in times of disruption and how they are helping us rethink and adapt our fundraising strategies to evolve and thrive in a constantly changing reality.

Complementing the above, we will tap into our collective wisdom to reflect on the inspiring people, moments and ideas that give us hope – in our fundraising mission and outside it.

*Please note that, to sustain the interactive and participatory spirit, session capacity is limited to 40 people. Spots will be available on a first-come, first-served basis until they’re all taken (no advance reservations possible).
