OUR 2026 SPEAKERS

We addressed 4 key focus areas



A connected and inclusive sector: Empowering charities of all sizes


Explore how the sector can ensure that smaller and medium-sized charities are given a voice, access to resources and opportunities for collaboration. Discussions will cover shared infrastructure, equitable funding strategies and inclusive partnership models.


Sector resilience, innovation, and leadership adaptability


With cost-of-living pressures, a volatile funding landscape and a swathe of restructures and closures, leaders must adapt rapidly. Discuss progressive leadership models, decision-making under uncertainty, and innovative responses to uncertain times.

Hands-on learning and operational support


Hear practical guidance around organisational skill-building, regulatory compliance and operational sustainability. Make sure you are up to speed with the latest knowledge of fundraising, finance, governance and partnerships.

Storytelling, digital engagement, and communication innovation


Charities increasingly need to inspire audiences, from donors to policymakers. Celebrate creativity, communication, and technology - including how AI and social media can amplify impact and drive your purpose forward.
