Mythbusters: Bridging the Gap Between Global Fundraising and Local Realities
Theme: Global Trends and Best Practices
Level: Beginners & Advanced
Feeling the effects of last night’s party? This myth-busting session will energize and inspire you! We’ll tackle the common challenge in global fundraising: “our market is different.” Uncovering the truth behind the myths, we’ll highlight how core principles apply everywhere, with local nuances. Learn how to adapt global best practices to succeed in any market. Whether you’re a global consultant or part of a national team, you’ll leave with tools to bridge gaps and make strategies work locally.

Pizza for Losers
Theme: Global Trends and Best Practices
Level: Beginners & Advanced
Fun, honest, tasty – just some of the words used to describe Pizza for Losers, the event and workshop designed to increase confidence and inspiration in charity fundraisers. In this workshop you’ll hear from your peers about the moments that didn’t quite go to plan; the fails that keep them up at night, or laughing from the memory. In just a few minutes each, they’ll pull back the curtain to reveal what *really* happens behind all that success, and what to do about it.

Why turf management and incidents are an NGO management issue

Helping you fundraise sustainably, ethically and effectively. In any circumstance.
Theme: Ethical and Sustainable Fundraising
Level: Beginners & Advanced
New Zealand has built a new code to support fundraisers and the challenges they experience, regardless of level, channel, market or activity. This is already supporting charities across New Zealand to build programmes which are sustainable and (importantly) do more good.
We will explain and actively challenge this code – demonstrating how it practically supports everyday (and innovative) fundraising.
We will discuss how this was developed – and the stakeholders crucial to its success.
Coaching and the Art of Empowering Relationships
Theme: Organisational Capacity Building
Level: Beginners & Advanced
What if coaching could transform the way you connect with others? In this workshop, we’ll uncover what coaching is (and isn’t), explore advanced active listening, and discover how these skills can strengthen leadership and personal relationships alike. Drawing on neuroscience, practical exercises and real-world tools, you’ll leave ready to create lasting, meaningful connections.

Closing Session
Inspired. Invigorated. Excited. And probably exhausted. At the end of 3 days surrounded by fundraisers you’re probably full of ideas and positivity and ready to get started. But what happens when we return to the ‘real world’ and are faced with challenges and opponents? How do you manage the negativity and what are you going to do differently? Join Simon in our Closing session as we reflect on the 2nd International F2F Fundraising Congress and make a plan to bring our energy and magic in to our work back home. Fundraisers Assemble!
