Change is inevitable, but navigating it well is a skill. Especially in the not-for-profit sector, where pressure and purpose go hand in hand. 

Designed by non-profit communication professionals, this half-day online conference is here to support you in inspiring, managing and adapting to change. 

With cuts to public sector jobs and declines in charity funds, many of us are facing uncertainty while, at the same time, needing to do more with less. 

Alongside these major shifts, there’s also a continual churn of smaller changes - new leadership, evolving technologies, and changing ways of working. 

That’s why we’ve brought together inspiring, experienced speakers and trainers who understand the unique challenges of our sector. They’ll share real-world lessons, tested strategies, and best practice to help you build confidence and clarity in the face of uncertainty. 

Whether you’re reacting to change or leading it, you’ll leave with practical tools, fresh ideas, and renewed inspiration. 

Your ticket includes a digital goody bag packed with resources from our speakers, and the opportunity to earn 10 CPD points.
