Thanks for helping shape the 2026 program! 

In March, we invited our members and sector partners to help co-create the Philanthropy Australia Conference 2026 through our expression of interest (EOI) process. These ideas and insights have been vital building a program that reflects the breadth and ambition of our community. 

​

We were thrilled to receive so many thoughtful and inspiring proposals across:

Still have an idea? Let us know. 

We are continuing to welcome ideas for Conference, and for future events, that could help spark connection, learning and momentum across the sector. You can suggest: 

  • Speakers or organisations 

  • Topics  

  • Partnerships or collaborations you’d like to see represented 

If something inspires you, or you see an opportunity to elevate a powerful idea, let us know. Every contribution strengthens the conversation that shapes what comes next.
