Why this event?

The next decade starts with the decisions you make today.

NGOs are entering a decade in which many of the models they rely on can no longer be taken for granted. Funding is shifting, resources are under pressure and expectations around efficiency and impact are rising. At the same time, new models and technologies are creating new possibilities. The question is not whether the sector will change. It is whether organisations are preparing for that change today. The choices NGOs make now will shape their ability to continue delivering on their mission in the years ahead.

NGO leaders talking together at an event

WHO IS IT FOR?

Designed for NGO leaders and senior decision makers responsible for strategy, fundraising, operations, finance, digital transformation and impact.

WHAT WILL YOU GET FROM IT?

A clearer view of what’s reshaping NGOs, practical examples of how organisations are responding, and new priorities to take into your 2027 planning — alongside peers facing similar challenges.

THE CONVERSATION

How will we fund our mission? How can we work more efficiently? How do we measure what really matters? Leave with fresh perspectives and concrete next steps.

Programme

One afternoon to step back, think ahead and talk with people facing the same questions.

Through keynotes, conversations and practical perspectives, experts and NGO leaders will explore how fundraising, operations and impact measurement could evolve over the next decade and what this means for the choices you need to make today.

01 FUNDRAISING

How NGOs can access new funding sources, secure unrestricted funding and become more financially independent.

02 OPERATIONS

How can automation and digital infrastructure help us deliver more impact with limited resources?

03 IMPACT MEASUREMENT

How can better data and measurement help us understand what works — and make better decisions?
