🧭 Headline sponsored by the Institute of Leadership. Additionally, we’re also extremely pleased to have the support of Stone King, a purpose-led law firm.
Eastside People are proud to host and bring you the 2025 Festival of Trusteeship; a week-long celebration exploring the future of trusteeship and the people shaping it.
This year’s Festival is headline sponsored by the Institute of Leadership, with support from our partners: Stone King, Ecclesiastical, Fair Collective, the Centre for Charity Effectiveness at Bayes Business School, Board Racial Diversity UK, ACEVO, the Young Trustees Movement and the Association of Chairs.
Join us for five days of inspiring talks, interactive workshops, and engaging activities – all designed to reimagine trusteeship and strengthen the boards of tomorrow.
Whether you're a seasoned trustee, new to governance, or simply curious, this is your chance to gain fresh insights, build your network, and leave inspired.
A weekly pass is the best value way to participate in the Festival. The pass gives you access to live attendance and recordings of all 15 events.
What to expect:
✔ Daily sessions with expert speakers
✔ Live Q&As, real-world case studies, and practical tools for trustees
✔ Trustee topics covering diversity, youth voice, leadership, board dynamics, legal and more
✔ A supportive space to ask questions, challenge thinking and share trustee experiences
✔ Opportunities to connect with fellow trustees and changemakers
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to expand your horizons and network with other trustees.
Let’s reimagine trusteeship together: braver boards, bolder decisions, better futures!
