Accessibility is a core principle of our event delivery and we want to make Fundraising Convention 2025 as inclusive as possible, including the process to apply to become a speaker. If you have any accessibility requirements and you would like an alternative method of submitting your application, please do contact the team to discuss.
We want to increase representation from a broad spectrum of people within the fundraising community and place value in hearing from third parties who can provide insight to our members. We want to eradicate the barriers and level-out disparities that may affect becoming a speaker. Please see our FAQs, which include our current practices to support inclusivity and accessibility. If there is anything you feel isn’t already covered and referenced by our FAQs, please contact the team who will do whatever they can to support you.
