Social Impact Summit 2026 is fast approaching, and the momentum is building. 

This is your chance to get an early peek at how the program is shaping up, what’s influencing it, and the ideas that will set the tone for the conversations we need to have as a sector. 

Now in its fourth year, Social Impact Summit has grown into something we’re proud of: a cross sector gathering that goes deeper than a talk‑fest, creates space for real-world learning, and builds enduring relationships among people who genuinely value collaboration over competition.  

It’s a community committed to a fairer, more inclusive society — and this free virtual Quarterly is where that journey begins for 2026. 

We’re also thrilled to announce a special guest interview with Hon Dr Andrew Leigh MP, Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities & Treasury and Federal Member for Fenner. 

In this conversation, we’ll explore 

  • The outlook for charities and what’s shifting 
  • How government thinking on the wellbeing economy has evolved a few years on from Measuring What Matters 
  • Where social enterprises are driving productivity and policy attention 

Whether you’re shaping ESG strategy, leading programs, influencing policy or exploring what’s next in impact practice, this Quarterly will help you connect the dots — and stay ahead of what’s emerging.
