More Partnership is delighted to be back in Manchester, supporting the biggest ever CASE Europe Annual Conference!

A warm welcome awaits you from Adrian, Joanna, James and Rebecca at our exhibition stand (42), while Joanna and Adrian will continue our CEAC myth-busting tradition on Wednesday at 12 noon:

More Myth-busting: Unmasking the Half-Truths and Urban Legends Getting in Your Way

Tuition fees are having no impact on giving. Big gifts follow from small gifts. Direct mail is less effective than the telephone. Using evidence from the richest data set of regular giving in the UK and the results of thousands of donor interviews, More Partnership tests the reality of a pack of mythical beasts. We'll slay some dragons, equipping you to ward off distractions and focus on your real challenges.

And to help you navigate the wealth of sessions, here are a few others that we think will set off some light-bulb moments:
