Will you join SOFII and Open at IWITOT 2024?
I Wish I’d Thought of That (IWITOT) is a twist on the usual conference. Attendees are given the opportunity to be inspired as their peers showcase their favourite examples of fantastic fundraising.
Each speaker has just seven minutes to champion an innovative and exciting fundraising campaign or concept that they wish they’d thought of themselves. But there is a catch… all speakers must speak enthusiastically about someone else’s idea, not their own. Egos are banned for the day!
And best of all, after two wonderful years running our hybrid event, we are heading back to the place where our in person event started – the Amnesty International UK Human Rights Action Centre!
We would love it if you could join us in-person in London for fundraising fun and a drinks reception afterwards. But if you can’t be there, you can still join online for the live presentations plus bonus interviews.
No matter if you choose to be in-person or online, we’d love to see you at our 12th IWITOT – so reserve your place now! Please note: in-person places are limited and may sell out quickly.
When is IWITOT 2024 and how do I sign up?
IWITOT 2024 will be live in-person and online on Thursday, November 7th, 2024 – from 2pm to 5pm GMT (London, UK). The event will be followed by a short drinks reception for our in-person attendees from 5pm to 6pm.
Can’t make it that day, in person or online? Don’t worry! IWITOT 2024 is available for one month post-November 7th, so grab a ticket and we’ll send you a recording to watch at your leisure.
Simply click the green ‘BUY YOUR TICKET NOW’ box (above right) to see in-person and online pricing.
*If you would like to send your whole team to IWITOT, and would like to purchase 11+ tickets, please email lynda@sofii.org to discuss bulk discount options.*
