Empowering the Charitable Sector with Interactive Technology

27th May, Hilton London Paddington Hotel
Great Western Ballroom
Full day event, registration opens at 8.45am

Delivering Successful Fundraising/Awareness Campaigns

What lessons can the charitable sector learn about using technology and social media campaigns as part of their fundraising and information sharing activities?

Our aim is to create a full day series of knowledge seminars exploring how the charitable sector can leverage multiple new and established interactive channels and payment channels, to increase stakeholder/public engagement and drive donations/fundraising.

The seminars will feature presentations, case studies and panel discussions based around an editorial agenda featuring Charities, Advertising & Marketing Agencies, Service Providers, Broadcasters, Industry Bodies and Network Operators. Attendees will learn, first hand from established charitable organisations and their supporting partners, how to put together multiple platform solutions which maximise the potential for all kinds of charities to connect with the public and collect donations on a massive scale, while benefiting from lower overheads.

The event will also include a number of networking opportunities throughout, such as coffee and tea breaks, lunch and possibly a small exhibition space for companies to showcase products and services.

WHO WILL ATTEND?

Although some high profile charities are already engaged in using interactive channels, there are many other charitable organisations that have yet to explore the possibilities offered. We will bring those charities new to this area together with those with experience from working with expert companies, in an environment where ideas can be shared, new contacts established and new business opportunities seized upon.

Within the charitable sector there currently exists:

• A need for knowledge/experience in using technology and interactive channels effectively
• Concern over effect on charity brand and reputation
• Concern over costs/out-payment and choice of right service provider partner

We intend to market the event to as many charity organisations as possible, encouraging them to attend the event, in order to learn about the opportunities available and meet the right service provider partners.

Regular AIME seminar attendees are senior executives from across the interactive media value chain: broadcasters, advertising/marketing agencies, publishers, network operators, service promoters, aggregators or facilitators, media companies, regulators and lawyers.

In addition, K&N Seminars are attended by key industry press, analysts and bloggers such as Broadcast, Marketing Week, Mobile Entertainment, Future Media, The Register, FT, New Media Age, Screen Digest and Direct2Mobile. Our sponsor partners find their involvement adds considerable value to their marketing, brand and communication strategies.
