The three plenaries at this year’s National Fundraising Convention, taking place in London next month, will be given by international fundraising expert Daryl Upsall, advertising expert Rory Sutherland, and the founder of two charities Dame Esther Rantzen OBE.
All delegates are invited to attend the plenary sessions, which are held in the largest conference room at Convention.
Daryl Upsall, has spent the last 34 years as a fundraiser and fundraising consultant working with fundraisers in over 50 countries. His open plenary on Monday 6 July will focus on the Convention’s theme of #BestYouCanBe.
He said:

“When I joined the IoF in 1987, I was amazed that there were others like me raising funds for good causes. Now, some 30 years later, over 2,500 fundraising professionals will be attending the Convention. We work in one of the greatest professions in the world: we should celebrate this and every day try that bit harder to do our jobs even better, with even more passion, to best serve the causes we work for.”

Advertising expert Rory Sutherland, Vice Chair of Ogilvy and ‘The Wiki Man’ columnist, will be deliver the Tuesday plenary, and Dame Esther Rantzen OBE, who launched the pioneering ‘ChildLine’ service in 1986 and ‘The Silver Line’ in 2012, will deliver the final plenary on Wednesday 8 July.
This year’s National Fundraising Convention features a redefined seven track programme, including new areas such as Philanthropy, Partnerships and the Bigger Picture.
Convention takes places from 6-8 July at the Hilton London Metropole and tickets for one or all three days can be booked via the National Fundraising Convention website.
