The open mic conference giving fundraisers a voice.

The sector is crying out for a shake-up - to be listened to and for things to change.

Conversations on social, articles in magazines, and chats in WhatsApp groups are fizzing with ideas, injustice, and potential.

It's time to bring that out into the open.

'Over to You' is a new concept conference that has no theme, rules, or agenda - and all attendees are invited to speak.

You can talk about anything you want related to our sector: a campaign you're proud of, tips for recruitment, challenge a way of working, or to raise a debate that others can join.

By handing over control to you, our sector, we will start new conversations, highlight important topics, and uncover opportunities.

So far we know eight speakers will take the stage to platform what they know about

✔️ lifesaving TikTok campaigns for Ukrainian refugees
✔️ taking the urgency out of charity work and viewing rest as an act of resistance
✔️ inspiring funders
✔️ the real change our sector should be working towards
✔️ fundraising without exploitation
✔️ the end of 'slow motion'
✔️ revolutionary apprenticeships

✔️ the difference between anti-racism and EDI

But the conversation will flow, respond, and build throughout the afternoon based on your input.

Here's how it works:

• Book your ticket: it's 'pay what you can' and we'll use the cash to pay speakers and fund further training for you
• Tell us when registering if you'd like to speak and what you're planning to speak about: all attendees will receive a public speaking training webinar to boost your confidence
• Attend on the day to discover who is speaking and about what - how far will it go?!
• Session slots are 15mins but we'll use judgment on the day as to whether we'll extend this (e.g. a debate is at its peak)
• If you didn't register your interest as a speaker when signing up, don't worry - you can tell us at any time and even jump in on the day to participate if a topic is important to you!

We're planning to run until 3pm (UK/IRE) but this may extend if the topics are too 🔥 to shut down early. We'll record it all so you don't have to miss anything.

The event will be subtitled using automated subtitles. Because spontaneous participation is encouraged, we won't have all the visuals pre-event; we'll get these to you immediately after. If you need additional features to access this event, please email us before July 10th, 2022.

The event will be hosted on the virtual events platform for charities, Everywhere+ - there's nothing you need to download for this platform.
