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.

In Adapta’s experience, it would appear that CRM projects are all the rage – there seems to be an ever larger number of organisations looking to change system - but why are so many third sector organisations investing in these projects, and what are they hoping to achieve as a result? Is the choice of systems and suppliers better than it has ever been before?

"Adapta's CRM, Customer Data and Cake event was excellent. It was a jam-packed afternoon full of insights into the world of charity CRMs. The speakers were engaging, the hosts were welcoming, and the cake was delicious! There was a real sense of community to the day. I felt confident in sharing my CRM woes to a room full of strangers in similar professional positions; knowing I would be supported and my questions would be answered. Thank you to the team at Adapta for a brilliant afternoon."
