Firsthand learnings in political campaigning, mobilisation, and fundraising from across Europe, the US, & Australia.
In 2024, more people will vote in elections than ever before. And vast amounts of time and money will be spent by political parties and interest groups to persuade, engage, and mobilise billions of voters; this will be the world’s biggest test laboratory of what works and what doesn’t.
As fundraisers and campaigners grappling with the urgent imperative to change a breaking world, it’s crucial that we draw every lesson we can from these huge tests. With the EU elections behind us by the time IFC rolls around in October, and the US elections right around the corner, these will be the focus of the session.
