In the last 5 years, regular giving and legacy professionals have grappled with the implementation of GDPR, a global pandemic, the worst cost of living crisis for decades and a global decline in donor numbers. At this year’s conference we will explore why it’s not all doom and gloom, and why now more than ever we should be celebrating the importance of regular and legacy giving within our institutions.

Exploring the impact of regular and legacy giving within the sector, you will leave with everything you need to be the biggest advocate for your programme. We will look at industry insights, to give you the knowledge and statistics to demonstrate the importance of regular and legacy giving, and why it has never been more important to invest in these programmes.

There will be a beginner track, for those early on in their career, covering the fundamentals of regular giving and legacy programmes, and looking at best practise across the sector. You will leave with the confidence to make the programme your own. 

A more advanced track will drive deeper into programmes and look at what we can learn from the charity sector. You will leave with a notebook full of ideas to take your programme to the next level. 

There will also be practical sessions for all levels, with takeaways and templates ready for you to use when you get back to the office, regardless of the size of your team or budget. 

You’ll leave feeling inspired and ready to tackle your programme in 2024 – and with a notebook full of ideas, templates ready to use, and an inbox full of connection requests. Whatever your level of experience, size of your team, or budget, this conference is for you. We can’t wait to see you there.
