ACF conference 2026 - Connecting the dots

Join us for ACF's flagship annual event – this year exploring the power of collaboration, connection and collective impact in an ever-changing world.

The challenges foundations face today don't have simple, singular solutions. The answers lie in reaching across boundaries. In the partnerships and perspectives we bring together. In recognising that people are at the heart of every connection. And in what becomes possible when we do.

This year's conference is where that thinking comes alive: a space to see yourself within the wider ecosystem, to forge the relationships that make collaboration real, and to be reminded that the most important dots to connect are human ones.
