Charity Technology Breakfast Briefing: Is blockchain the future for charities?

Join us at the first in our series of breakfast briefings exploring the opportunities and challenges facing charity IT leaders. These interactive seminars provide a unique forum for open debate and an opportunity to connect with your peers.

The first event will seek to answer the question ‘Is blockchain the future for charities?’

This event is run in partnership with Charity IT Leaders.

This event is designed to provide space for charities to debate with other charities. As a result, there are no corporate spaces available and we will withdraw places booked by non-charity delegates. We will issue a refund minus an administration fee of 15%.

GDPR is coming

……don’t get caught out.

Recent Government research indicates that only 44% of charities have heard of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that will be kicking in this May. Of that 44%, only 26% have taken action to comply with the regulation. It’s not too late to act!

This one-day GDPR Conference, in partnership with Russell-Cooke Solicitors, will feature a series of hands-on workshops answering the key questions and addressing issues that have been raised for charities by the GDPR.

This is a great opportunity to hear from some of the leading figures in data protection law on what you can do to make sure your charity is ready.
Workshop topics;

  • Fundraising and direct marketing
  • Privacy notices
  • Record keeping and security
