🎓 New in 2026: Partners

In 2026 we're partnering with people and organisations doing critical work we can all learn from, including:

Member organisations of a Million Acts of Hope (May 2026) can exchange plans and collaborate
Campaigning Senior Managers via a Campaigning Leadership Forum stream at the event
The Sheila McKechnie Foundation for their work to support, connect and champion campaigners
Forward Action on pushing back against the radical right
In talks: BOND about re-invigorating campainging in development sector organisations
...and perhaps others but especially all the other participants who each have unique experience

One of the first things I recommend

It's one of the first things I recommend to anyone I have a coffee with, whether they are just starting their career or feeling isolated in their career.

It gives me hope for the future

My go-to watering hole to find out what's working in the world of online and offline campaigning, what shared challenges NGOs are facing and how they're solving them, and as a reaffirming place where sparkling minds and deep values meet. It gives me hope for the world.

Helped me evolve my skills

It has helped me evolve my skills in an ever changing landscape by providing a great space to talk to colleagues from different organisations and share experiences and learning in a really productive and insightful way.

It's the one time of the year where you can really reflect on the work you're doing and think deeply about it which is so valuable to making sure you're not doing things for the sake of doing them.

I discover emerging trends

This is a great gathering of campaigners that gives you a very comprehensive idea of emerging trends, as well as common problems and possible solutions. It's a very interesting event that is also very effective for networking.

It got me hired!

It got me hired! Context and knowledge I got from the 2 day forum helped me get a new job. I put into practise some of the things I learned that week particularly around sending really engaging emails to supporters.
