YOUR INVITATION
A day of inspirational talks, panel discussions and practical workshops that will leave you energised AND armed with a toolkit of actionable learnings to take your fundraising to the next level.
WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER
Branding blindspots
In a sector focused on campaigns, conversion, and compliance, brand is often overlooked. But brand isn’t just a logo or a nice story. It’s how people feel about supporting you. And if it's not clear, engaging, or modern – you’re leaving both money and meaning on the table. This presentation from Tim Dove at re:brand will challenge a few norms and show some examples of it being done well. He’ll get you thinking about your organisation and how you can ensure you’re avoiding the ‘brand blindspot’.
Brand Moments That Matter
In a digital world of cluttered feeds, wasted impressions and declining attention spans, showing up just anywhere is no longer enough. The brands that win are the ones that show up in the right moments - when they matter most. Join Chris Schultz from Acquire as he shares how smart marketers are building strategies around Brand Moments That Matter. Learn how to blend programmatic power with emotional relevance and preview a practical moment-mapping framework that drives real business results.
Data, behaviour, and hyper-personalisation
This presentation from MIMO/DATAM will show you how to transform raw data into meaningful, multi-channel interactions across email, SMS, voice, and direct mail - all from a single platform. This session will challenge how you think about personalisation - it’s not just about names in subject lines or open rates in eDMs, it’s about burning down the old school campaigns and rebuilding around behaviour, context and connection.
Rethinking AI in Real-life conversations
When viewed as a ‘tool’ rather than a ‘replacement’, AI can work for you – not the other way around. In this session, Liam Malcolm from CornucopiaPO will take you through how to make conversations with donors more special - and more personal - to create a better experience, revealing how AI can open doors to a tailored supporter experience that simply wasn't possible before.
Lunch Break
Mix and mingle while enjoying your personalised lunch choice and the amazing views out over the water.
Facilitiated workshops
After lunch, a series of facilitated workshops will provide the opportunity to take the learnings from the morning sessions and give you the practical tools to take back to your organisation - and transform your fundraising!
