Face-to-Face and Telephone Fundraising Conference 2026

Details

Dialogue fundraising in a digital world.

In a world of algorithms, automation, and AI, the most powerful fundraising channel is still the one that starts with ‘hello‘.

And this year’s Face-to-Face & Telephone Fundraising Conference, curated in partnership with REAL Fundraising, celebrates the people behind dialogue fundraising – the fundraisers, managers, and leaders who know that human-to-human connection is what keeps donors inspired, loyal, and giving.

Back for the third year, we’re bringing face-to-face and telephone fundraising together under one buzzing virtual roof – with more insights, more sessions, and more space to share, connect, and celebrate the channel that continues to deliver year after year, despite what your neighbour Jon says about door knockers.

What you’ll learn

Across a packed one-day programme, you’ll hear from in-house teams, agencies, regulators, and innovators on what’s working right now – and what’s next – in dialogue fundraising.

Sessions will cover:

• Benchmarking & insight: What the 2025 Dialogue Fundraising Report tells us about acquisition, retention, and ROI
• Compliance & safeguarding: Step-by-step guidance on the new Code updates – protecting fundraisers and supporters alike
• Running F2F in-house: How to start, scale, and sustain your own teams (and prove the value to your board)
• Ethics & experiential: The big debate – when immersive fundraising inspires, and when it oversteps
• Data & integration: How F2F, telephone, and digital teams can work together to drive lifetime value
• Innovation & growth: From inflation-proof giving to creative donor experiences, what’s helping fundraisers thrive in 2026
