Charity Digital Conference: Time for Action

 

Tuesday 25 June 2019, London

 

How many years? How many conferences? How many more 20 somethings in tortoiseshell glasses will stand up to tell you how you’re doing your job wrong?

So that you can start taking action, we’ll tell you how it is and grapple with the challenges. We’ll talk: finding the cash, digital on a budget, learning from digital disasters, understanding the risks and separating facts from fear-mongering.

Action is what this event is about.
