ShipItCon is a not-for-profit event. Our team members are fuelled by a passion for giving back, paying it forward and caffeine. All left over funds will be donated to local good causes. Each member of the team has chosen a local good cause which they hold dear.
As well as the great causes listed below we wanted to help with the humanitarian crisis happening in the Ukraine and the team made a donation of 5000 euro to the Redcross Ukraine Crisis Appeal in April 2022. This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our wonderful sponsors and those folks who purchased tickets before we announced our first speaker. Thank you all.
