About this event

How do we become more impact-focused - not just in theory, but in how we work every day? How do we measure what really matters? And how can we learn from each other to do it all with more clarity, intention, and courage?

The Future of Social Impact is a one-day, in-person gathering designed to bring together a diverse community of people working across sectors from social enterprises to charities, funders to public service to explore what it really takes to create meaningful, measurable change.

Expect inspiring client stories, hands-on sessions, honest conversations, and lots of space to connect with people who care about this work as much as you do.

Whether you're just starting to rethink your approach, or you're deep in the weeds of impact measurement and strategy, this is a space to be inspired, be honest, and leave with practical tools and fresh ideas to take back to your team.
