Thanks for helping shape the 2026 program!
Earlier this year, we invited our members and sector partners to help co-create the Philanthropy Australia Conference 2026 through our expression of interest (EOI) process. The ideas and insights shared have been instrumental in shaping a program that reflects the breadth, ambition and diversity of our community.
A collaborative process
All submissions have been reviewed and applicants notified of the outcome. Session selections were based on alignment with Conference priorities, program balance and venue capacity. We are grateful to all applicants for their willingness to share ideas and contribute to the program.
The program has been shaped by the Philanthropy Australia Conference team, in partnership with a Conference Program Advisory Group comprising external representatives. The Group brought invaluable insight, expertise and diverse perspectives from across philanthropy and civil society.
We extend our sincere thanks to the 2026 Conference Program Advisory Group:
Ingrid Albert, Ian Bird, Jessica Bulger, Brenda Gaddi, Peter Johnstone, Nayomi Kannangara, Harriet McCallum, Roxanne Moore, Heather Newberry Lord, Adam Ognall, Michelle Steele, Lucy Steggles, Kristen Stevenson, Luke Terry
