Amanda Bringans, director of fundraising at the British Heart Foundation and chair of the Institute of Fundraising, has been announced as part of the opening keynote panel at next year’s Fundraising Live event.

Bringans will be joined by Nina Saffuri, director of fundraising at War Child, Margaret Casely-Hayford, chair of ActionAid and Peter Wanless, chief executive of NSPCC, in the opening morning panel discussion about the future of fundraising, and what lies ahead for the future of the sector.

The event will be held on 8 February 2018 at the ILEC Conference Centre in London next year, and the programme has now been unveiled.

Across three streams (fundraising fundamentals, strategy and disruption and innovation) experts from across the sector will address issues like future proofing an organisation’s fundraising, mass participation events and developing future leaders from within.

There will also be a keynote speech from Charles Wells, chief marketing officer from digital giving platform JustGiving, addressing the evolution of giving and the meteoric rise of crowdfunding pages.
