Why You Should Attend

“This is a great opportunity to learn new things about the wonderful world of Development Services, meet those in similar roles to your own from across the country, and this year, all in the comfort of wearing your slippers!”

“This year’s Development Services conference is a great opportunity for new and experienced colleagues to take some time out of busy schedules to engage with industry leading education and learn practical skills from inspirational development services professionals. With a remote conference there will still be the same great content, exchanges of ideas, and opportunities to network with colleagues from peer institutions.”
Programme
Over the course of 4 weeks (4 Wednesday mornings through March, commencing on the 3 March and concluding on the 24 March), the planning committee will guide you through all aspects of the development services practice with an inspiring, informative and practical programme.
A track structure will align with the following topics; People, Planning & Performance, Data and Analytics, Prospect Development, Gift Administration and Donor Care.
This conference is for everyone who believes in unlocking and supporting new ways of working in our organisations (even if you don’t work in Development Services).
The programme will take place each Wednesday (3 March - 24 March 2021) from 08:30 to 13:00 (GMT).
