The IFC Online will save you money in two important ways:- Registration fees for the IFC Online will be a fraction of what you pay to attend other fundraising conferences. The maximum fee will be $275. And there are no hotel and travel costs involved! All you need is a computer and telephone line, and you can gain access to some of the world’s most celebrated thought-leaders in new media fundraising.
- A single fee can register a room (or an auditorium) full of attendees! By connecting your telephone to a loudspeaker system and your computer to an LCD projector, you can include all your colleagues for the price of a single registration!
And what’s more, just like with other conferences, you will be able to meet and network with hundreds of your fellow fundraising peers, only this time you won’t even have to leave your office!
How the conference works
- There will be 10x 1.5 hour workshops run twice over the three day period, plus a further 3 plenary sessions that will run only once
- The working day will be from 8.30am to 19.00pm, with 80% of sessions taking place between 10am and 5pm
- All sessions will be fully interactive and participants will be able to ask questions to presenter at the end of the presentation
- If you miss any sessions don’t worry, as all presentations will be available immediately after they have finished as podcasts for you to download
- As well as the educational sessions, participants will also be invited to join an online community a couple of weeks before the conference begins to meet, network and exchange ideas with fellow delegates. The conference community will survive the event itself, continuing to act as repository for all the great contact generated during the conference, and acting as a hub for ongoing access to the human network brought together for the conference. Tap into it at any time.
