Co-create the Conference with us
Philanthropy Australia invites our valued members and sector stakeholders to contribute to the 2026 Conference 2026 program by submitting an expression of interest (EOI) to:
​
​This EOI process embraces a collaborative approach to program development, creating space for members and partners to bring forward ideas, experiences, questions, practices and partnerships that can mobilise generosity, and create an exceptional event.
​
We encourage submissions from foundations, charities, intermediaries, researchers, government, advisors, social investors, First Nations-led organisations, next-generation leaders and other engaged organisations and networks.
Creation process
The Philanthropy Australia Conference 2026 program team and an external Program Advisory Group will review all applications. Selections will be based on sessions that best meet the criteria, support the Conference objectives and align with venue capacity.
