What is IWITOT?

IWITOT is a unique twist on the usual fundraising conference. Attendees (from veterans to newbies) are given the opportunity to be inspired as their peers showcase brilliant examples of fundraising.

Each speaker has just seven minutes to champion an innovative and exciting fundraising campaign or concept that they wish they’d thought of themselves. But there is a catch … all speakers must speak enthusiastically about someone else’s idea, not their own. Egos are banned for the day!

We are thrilled to announce our hosts: 

Tycely Williams 

Kimberley MacKenzie (IWITOT: The Americas 2021 winner)
