Summary

ACF’s flagship event, where trusts and foundations will come together in person to explore how to adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world

Future-ready foundations: building resilience, relevance and readiness

Foundations of all sizes are facing rapid change and growing complexity. This year’s conference is all about what it takes to stay resilient in uncertain times, remain relevant to the communities you serve, and be ready for the challenges and opportunities ahead.

We’re excited to return to a format that offers all staff and trustees an invaluable opportunity to connect with peers, gain fresh insights, and discover trends and practices that will shape the future of our sector.

Expect bold conversations and practical insights on how foundations are navigating disruption, shifting power, and shaping what comes next.

From AI to inequality, governance to funding models – we’ll explore the big forces transforming our work, and what it takes to stay relevant, resilient and ready.

ACF Conference is now fully booked. We understand that many people are still keen to attend, and we’re operating a waiting list in case any spaces become available closer to the time. If you would like to be added to the waiting list, please email acf@acf.org.uk with your name, organisation and contact details. We’ll be in touch as soon as possible if a place becomes available. Non-members are welcome to go on the waiting list if they meet the criteria for ACF membership.
