I Wish I’d Thought of That at Convention 2025

Applications are now closed and we’ll aim to make decisions soon. 

The Chartered Institute of Fundraising has partnered with SOFII (The Showcase of Fundraising Inspiration and Innovation) for Convention 2025 to bring attendees another edition of the popular “I Wish I’d Thought of That” series. Affectionately known as IWITOT, this engaging format has given hundreds of fundraisers around the world the opportunity to share the fundraising ideas that have inspired them since our first event in 2012. We are delighted to be bringing back this popular event to close Fundraising Convention with the final slot of the day on Tuesday 10 June.

Fundraisers who are interested in presenting as part of IWITOT at Convention should complete the short online application form below letting us know a little about themselves and sharing the idea they wish they’d dreamt of.

Fundraisers who are selected to present at Convention will need to commit to attending two 30-minute online rehearsals with the SOFII team in the weeks leading up to Convention. Our “new voices” speakers will also have access to a mentor to support them in the development of their presentation. Presenters will be gifted a ticket to attend the second day of the Convention.
