The Resource Alliance has released its IFC 2023 in-person workshop programme, following an earlier announcement on this year’s masterclasses. It is also offering lower-price tickets for the event for people who under 30 or from small nonprofits.
The International Fundraising Congress (IFC) returns to Noordwijkerhout in the Netherlands on 17-20 October and will once again be presented in a hybrid format enabling people to attend in person as well as online.
More than 40 workshops are available, led by sector experts and framed by the event’s theme of Unite. Topics range from the rise of artificial intelligence and its place in the social impact sector to what powers the political Green Wave, unifying and accelerating your fundraising and mission, impact for transformational change, grant-seeking and major donor fundraising.
Ruby Chadwick, Director of Programmes at The Resource Alliance, commented:
“We’ve spent the first half of this year brainstorming topics, evaluating proposals, debating content, and liaising with speakers, and we are very proud to share this year’s workshop programme for IFC. The programme is incredibly topical, curated to meet the immediate needs of our delegates while looking to the future to unite us all. Whatever our cause, we all have common concerns: war still rages, our planet still warms, women still stake their lives on the fight for equality, the few still have more than the many. No matter the problem, we stand so much stronger together.”
2023 Masterclasses
The Resource Alliance has already announced are this year’s Masterclasses. These are intensive, expert-led, small group sessions held ahead of the main conference programme. This year’s will cover a range of topics from decentralisation and impact to innovation and donor experience, and are presented in two categories: full-length masterclasses held across two days and mini masterclasses running at the same time.
Super early bird pricing for IFC 2023 is available until 30 June.
Emerging Leader programme
IFC has also launched a new initiative this year, the Emerging Leader programme, which aims to open up the event to more people. Under the programme, the Resource Alliance is offering cost-price tickets for fundraisers, campaigners, and changemakers who are under the age of 30, or working in organisations with a turnover of less than £500,000.
