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!
