I participated in the last two conferences as a participant and I know how much the conference helped me learn from various speakers when I found myself in the role of F2F manager for the first time in my life. It was a whole new world for me.

Attending the International F2F Fundraising Congress 2025 in Vienna was an inspiring and highly valuable experience. It brought together fundraisers from around the world, offering practical and thought-provoking sessions directly relevant to real-world F2F challenges, while also providing outstanding networking opportunities. I left with fresh ideas, renewed motivation, and a deeper understanding of how psychology, leadership, and culture drive successful face-to-face fundraising.

The International F2F Fundraising Congress is a must for any F2F specialist who wants to grow. In just three days, you gain practical insights, fresh perspectives and a level of energy that lasts for months. The atmosphere is so engaging that time flies.

If you want growth and community, this is the place to be.
