Conferences can feel performative and ego-driven. But not this one. IFC is built around community. Lovingly made better by incredible volunteers and excited presenters. Everyone was there to share and learn – all in hope of accomplishing more. Not a personal more. A collective more. That’s what blew me away. Strangers treated me like family, and I left feeling absolutely inspired by every single person I met.

I’ve been able to see some of the world’s best speakers, most successful fundraisers – the people who have literally changed the face of how the world responds to some of its challenges.

The sessions were amazing. All of the speakers were excellent, knowledgeable and engaging. Beyond the great sessions I attended, I got the chance to meet and learn from the best fundraising minds from around the world in between sessions over coffees and meals. I even got to meet some of my long-time fundraising heroes. The IFC was easily the five most rewarding days of my professional career.

IFC is that one place where the fundraising community gets together to change the world.

Going to the IFC for the first time was a truly transformational experience for me.

The IFC was one of the most inspirational and energy-infusing fundraising-focused events that I’ve been to.

It’s about the quality of the conversations. IFC is one of those conferences that I absolutely can’t wait for each year!

I always walk away from IFC with a huge amount of inspiration.

I think the IFC is the most important conference anyone in the fundraising world should attend. The sessions, inspirational ideas, forward thinking, and networking opportunities are fantastic.
