Fundraisers need learning to be low-cost, impactful, and accessible

It was interesting attending both #23NTC and #AFPICON back to back. There were certain things that I thought each did well, certain gaps that were obvious, and in general left me with a feeling of - is this the best we have?

I am pretty loud about how I dislike the traditional vendor booth structure at trade shows and conferences. I don't think it is structured to benefit anyone:

  • Attendees are left confused navigating the expo hall, trying to figure out what may actually matter to them
  • Vendors are left using tricks and gimmicks to get people to the booth, where the price of admission is a badge scan that leads to inauthentic "we were so grateful meeting you" emails as follow to try to justify Cost Per Lead metrics
  • Conference organizers are locked in to what they believe is the only way to fund these types of experiences while in turn continuing to not pay speakers for their time unless its a keynote or celebrity

There has to be another way. I'm still exploring what in-person looks like, but I do know that virtual learning has evolved significantly in the past three years.

That's why I'm so excited about our partnership with Fundraising Everywhere to bring their wildly successful Individual Giving Conference to North America .

Who, What, Why

Not-for-profits are held to high standards – and the people you work with should be too.

That’s why we’ve prioritized equity, experience, and quality since day one.

We believe that every fundraiser deserves to have the right tools to do their job – and feel safe and supported while doing it. We believe fundraising training should be low-cost, impactful, and accessible for fundraisers everywhere.

Neon One and Fundraising Everywhere have partnered to bring North American fundraisers the first Individual Giving Conference North America. This event is a celebration of YOU and the remarkable work being done by not-for-profits throughout North America. With our three Conference Rooms and Skills Tent, you can connect with other fundraisers, gain insights from industry leaders, and build on skills that can help you and your teams to thrive!

We've done so much work already for you that I will post the entire schedule below.

Spot on - that’s why Fundraise for Australia will always be free :) Just got to get the price point down another $600 to be truly scalable though. Good luck with the conference!
