The #BeMoreDigital Conference is a tech event created by charities for charities to build skills and confidence for organisations at all stages of digital maturity. 

Here are 4 reasons why delegates attended the #BeMoreDigital Conference 2022

1. Themes determined by the charity sector

The agenda and themes were created by analysing trends and talking to charities to understand challenges in the sector. Here’s what made up our agenda.

Fundraising & Marketing - How can becoming more digital grow my organisation? By using the right digital tools for your organisation, in the right way, at the right time. The lifeblood of our organisations, this theme will be exploring the latest trends in fundraising and marketing including case studies on community fundraising, the role of data in building donor audiences, donor user journeys and persona, and much more.

Strategy, tech & data - This theme will focus on how charities can develop skillsets and mindsets that match the technology needed to #BeMoreDigital. Sessions will look at replacing legacy technology, how to improve ROI to boards and leaders, a panel discussion around the forgotten parts of your digital strategy, and examples of how charities are using data to drive better services to their users.

Impact - Learn about some of the latest tech advancements delivering services, hear from other charities about how they’re making digital changes to provide a better service to their beneficiaries, and join a session on how organisation are showcasing impact in new and exciting ways. 

Small charities - Smaller organisations make up over 95% of charities in England and Wales and we have a theme dedicated specifically to how small charities can #BeMoreDigital. Attendees can join peer led sessions around how small charities can act like large charities using digital, how to grow your organisation using social media on a budget, and how you can use Lego to help you be more cyber secure.

2. Interactive workshops

In addition to our sessions, we added 6 interactive workshops to the agenda. Workshops focused on building key digital skills that delegates could take back to their organisation and share with colleagues, leaders, and boards. Our workshops included how to build donor user journeys, how to start the right conversations around data, and how to pivot your small charity service to work digitally.

3. Networking with 250 peers

The best part of the day was being able to bring charity professionals together again in a physical setting. Attendees talked to peers about their digital initiatives, challenges, and solutions in the networking breaks, lunch, and dedicated drinks reception.

4. The conference is accessible to all through our travel bursary

For a third year, we were able to offer attending charities a bursary to travel to our conference venue in London. We helped over 30 organisations access all that our conference had to offer by covering travel expenses.
