The Association of Fundraising Professional - RI Chapter (AFPRI) is seeking quality presenters for its April 12, 2013 Conference.

1. Call for Presentations
Fundraising Day in Southeastern New England
April 12, 2012, Warwick Rhode Island
On April 12th, more than 200 professional and grassroots fundraisers, executive directors,
board members, service providers and funders will gather for networking and professional
development at Fundraising Day in Southeastern New England, a one‐day conference hosted by
the Association of Fundraising Professionals, Rhode Island Chapter (AFP‐RI).
Presenters and Presentations
AFP‐RI is seeking presenter applications from experienced professionals and talented workshop
leaders. We are looking for an exciting variety of engaging workshops and keynotes – from
basics to advanced, tried‐and‐true to cutting edge – so wow us! We’ll develop themes and
tracks once we’ve had a chance to review the proposals submitted.
In the past, the most popular workshops are those that focus on the practice of fund
development. Our attendees want to hear how practices have worked in organizations with
which they can identify. We recommend including in your workshop cases that demonstrate
how real organizations have benefited from the practices you present.
Many of our attendees, though not exclusively, are from small to mid‐sized organizations or
from small shops within larger organizations.
The conference will host 15 unique workshops that are an hour and fifteen minutes in length.
Double sessions lasting two and one half hours for advanced or involved topics will be
considered. Keynote sessions are approximately 45 minutes.
Proposal Logistics
If you are interested in presenting, we encourage you to submit an application.
Unfortunately, we cannot compensate presenters. However, we invite presenters to stay for
the entire conference with our compliments. Selected presenters will be provided a contact list
of conference attendees, promotion of your session, bio and contact information in conference
publicity materials.
