Join Pizza for Losers on June 29th 2027 to be uplifted and inspired by the real fundraising fails lurking behind the success we see highlighted across the sector.

That charity campaign raising millions? Failed horrendously on its first launch.

That speaker you see crushing it? Had their confidence shattered by multiple job rejections.

During the afternoon, our speakers will share their failure stories, taking you through what they learned about themselves – and their approach to failure – from the experience.

Then we all cheer, eat pizza, and settle the pineapple debate once and for all.

We’ll also be covering some science-y bits about why our brains work the way they do and what to do about it, and run some workshops so you take away practical tools for overcoming (and avoiding) fundraising, career, and wellbeing fails.

You’ll leave with:

🍕 a failure menu toolkit to act as your guide to managing failure, overwhelm, and self-doubt

🍕 skills to build and grow a safe working environment that encourages innovation and growth

🍕 the confidence to innovate or move forward with your fundraising goals

🍕 a higher sense of wellbeing and emotional safety

🍕 a feeling of community and connection to the sector and people within it

🍕 the knowledge of what to do – and what not to do – when things don’t work out

🍕 the confidence to push yourself that little bit further to be the best that you can be

And who knows? Maybe one of our speakers will share a fundraising story very similar to your own and you’ll know what you have to do next.
