As those who attended this year’s ILM Annual Conference will know, the agenda was largely focused around property.

While this was both insightful and engaging for many in the audience, we also took on board feedback that a wider agenda and range of topics can be more appealing.

We listened to those views and that’s why, in setting the agenda for 2025, we’ve opted for a different approach – one where members can be part of the decision-making process.

Each of the potential speakers for Conference 2025 is submitting an outline proposal by the end of this month (August).

Not only will the Board review the suggested ideas, but we are also putting together a member panel to help decide which topics you and your peers want to hear about.

Knowing our charity members vary tremendously in size, we want to ensure there will be something for everyone. If you’re a sole legacy officer in a small charity, your view will be just as important as team members from a larger, national charity.

We want to make our 2025 conference bigger and better than ever – to join the panel, simply email Matthew at [email protected] no later than Friday 6 September.
