ACF conference 2026
25 November, County Hall, London, 8.30am–6pm
ACF’s flagship conference is the UK's leading event for charitable foundation leaders, trustees and staff.
Whether you’re shaping strategy, making grants, or managing investments, this is your opportunity to connect with peers, gain practical insights, and stay ahead of the curve.
Join hundreds of colleagues from small, medium and large foundations across the UK for a day of fresh ideas, bold conversation, shared learning, and future-focused thinking.
Connecting the dots: the power of collaboration, connection and collective impact
The world feels more divided than ever. 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 ACF annual conference is built around that belief. Learn more about the theme.
Non-members are welcome to attend the conference if they meet the criteria for ACF membership.
