1 Welcome to the 2016 Bridge to Integrated Marketing & Fundraising Conference Call for Papers Online Submission! Deadline Friday, October 30, 2015 at Midnight EST TO BEGIN THE SUBMISSION PROCESS, ENTER YOUR BELOW AND CLICK SUBMIT. You will be lead through the submission steps For the 11th Anniversary of the Bridge to Integrated Marketing & Fundraising Conference, we are looking for the best-of-the best! We are looking for innovative fundraisers and marketers like you who have great presentation skills and a strong desire to share what you know with other professionals at the 2016 Bridge Conference! As you ponder your speaking submission, think about these areas that we know people want to learn more about! You can't have a completely separate 'direct marketing' and 'fundraising' operation anymore - how are you helping your donors and your organization BRIDGE different departments and experiences. It's no longer about a single event - it's about an experience. Talk about it! Tell us what you learned! One professional fundraiser cannot work alone - it's a team now. Let us know how you have succeeded in this reality. It's not just what the donor can do for you - it's about the relationship you have with the donor. Tell us about your great stewardship wins. Fundraising starts with the CEO, CFO and VPs - as a nonprofit leader, how are you ensuring that fundraising is not an afterthought. They watch TV, they read the paper, they go online, they listen to the radio - people are not single channel - your fundraising isn't either - BRAG about your success! It's not just a bright shiny new thing - how have you effectively tested new technologies and communication tools and made them a part of your program. You need to start a campaign, but your client or volunteers are reluctant to set goals because they can't predict the future - what have you done to help? We know you did it - you started with a group of petition signers and many years later recognized bequests from those folks. How did you do it?! Before you go to the next page, gather the following information: Who is on your presentation team - you will be asked to submit bios for all speakers Think about why 100 people would want to listen to you Provide 3 insights or actionable items those 100 people will receive.
