Upcoming Events

Our events focus around strategic shared learning for senior managers to gain knowledge and understanding from peers with the key aim of drawing out best practices. At each event guest speakers from charities are invited to give case study style presentations, sharing practical insights into current issues facing the sector. This is followed by facilitated group discussion. Our events are only open to charities, membership organisations and other non-profit organisations.

We have an enviable track-record for hosting events that address the demands and challenges affecting organisations through change. Almost 100% of attendees rate them as either excellent or good.

Hear from Adapta’s Mark Dendy and Keith Collins as we explore why key supplier relationships evolve and how to manage them if you’re no longer satisfied.

Whether it is your fundraising or CRM platform, finance package, or IT support company – you don’t have to accept the status quo. An underperforming supplier relationship can weigh your organisation down – but it doesn’t have to.
