Call for Papers for Convention 2026 is now closed
We are delighted to share that Fundraising Convention 2026 will take place for the fourth year running at the QEII Centre in London on 4 & 5 June 2026.
Thank you to everyone who submitted their ideas and proposals — we’ve been thrilled by the quality, creativity, and passion shown across all entries.
The Convention Board is now reviewing all submissions over the coming weeks. We’ll be in touch with all applicants regarding the outcome and speaker selections by early February 2026.
The theme for 2026 is Small Shifts, Big Impact.
In a sector facing constant pressure and change, innovation doesn’t have to mean big budgets or bold tech. Small Shifts, Big Impact celebrates the subtle but powerful changes that can transform the way we fundraise.
At Fundraising Convention 2026, we’ll explore how fundraisers of all kinds are driving progress through creativity, collaboration, and fresh thinking — proving that even the smallest ideas, when shared, can lead to extraordinary outcomes.
