Suit Up!
Fundraising conferences can be a treasure trove of information and contacts. But if you’re not prepared, you might find yourself missing the most golden of the nuggets.
During the conference
Go to as many sessions as you can. You’ll learn a great deal from them. Also, arrive early to those sessions you plan to attend. Nothing is more frustrating than to arrive late or just at the time a session starts and not find a seat.
Make contacts. One very important rule for conferences is to never eat alone. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are the best times you have to make contacts. Also, take advantage of networking opportunities when you can. You’ll have a great time and have the chance to talk to all those people you otherwise wouldn’t have had the time to meet.
