The CIoF have announced that 2026 will see the last Fundraising Convention.
According to their press release and following the recent Learning Review, the CIoF is reshaping how they support fundraisers to learn, grow, and connect at every stage of their careers.
2026 will be the last Fundraising Convention, but this is just one part of a much bigger picture that includes two new one-day events: the Fundraising Summit, focused on leadership and the future of the profession, and Fundraising in Action, designed for early, mid-career and established fundraisers building or enhancing their practice and skills.
The new events will sit alongside a year-round programme of activity delivered by CIoF groups across the UK, helping fundraisers connect, learn and share ideas with peers. Through webinars, networking, events and development opportunities, these volunteers bring practical insight and experience from across the fundraising profession.
