Speakers wanted! Masterclass submissions open for IFC 2025

The Resource Alliance works globally to strengthen the social impact sector by bringing together a highly-engaged community of fundraisers, campaigners, and activists and connecting them with the resources and collaborative networks they need to support their work. The annual International Fundraising Congress (IFC) is our flagship annual event, bringing together over 1,000 people each year. We are now accepting proposals from interested speakers to present masterclasses at IFC 2025 next 14-17 October in Noordwijkerhout in the Netherlands.

Masterclasses at the International Fundraising Congress are intensive, expert-led, small group sessions that are held ahead of the main conference programme, offering participants a deep exploration of critical topics and trends impacting the sector, selected in response to the changing needs of the community, like localised and community-led fundraising, the changing face of international aid, purpose-led work, innovative financing models, collaboration and communication, AI and tech trends, and many more.

With the rise of right wing governments across the world and the result of the US elections, which will have wide-ranging impacts on our work and on our fundraising, it is critical that organisations and people working to protect human rights, prevent climate change, and build a better world for us all are equipped to do so and supported to build an interconnected network of change. To this end, we are looking to hear from a diverse group of thought leaders and industry experts working in different contexts globally to share their insight, knowledge, and skills with next year’s delegates.
