FOR THE
LOVE
OF ____
The Global Impact Summit is coming to Sydney on August 5–6, 2026, bringing together leaders, creators, philanthropists, and changemakers for two days of bold ideas, meaningful connection, and real-world impact.
This year’s theme, For the Love Of ___, is a celebration of what drives us — the causes, communities, and futures we’re committed to building together.
Hosted across Sydney’s most iconic cultural venues — the State Theatre and Walsh Bay Arts Precinct — the Summit will feature inspiring keynote speakers, thought-provoking sessions, and unforgettable moments designed to reimagine what generosity can look like today.
Keynote announcements and ticket sales will be released soon.
Last year, the Impact Stage brought together funders, founders, corporates, and nonprofits in a way few events ever do.
Our passion is to create events that give people a deep sense of belonging through connection, networking and content. The Global Impact Summit is being built to continue on from the Impact Stage at SXSW Sydney in 2025.
Established as its own standalone event we are focussed on providing a world class conference environment that features brilliant speakers and organisation.

Why Global Impact Summit?
The impact sector is full of brilliant people — but too often, they’re working in silos.
Funders, founders, corporates, and nonprofits rarely share the same space, despite tackling the same challenges. Global Impact Summit is being created to change that.
It’s a gathering designed to bring the right people into the room — not by hierarchy or sector, but by shared purpose. A place where meaningful connections are made, ideas are challenged, and collaboration feels natural.
Because when people feel they belong, better outcomes follow.
Conference
Conversations that matter — bringing together people with influence, insight, and intent to move ideas into action and create momentum where it’s needed most.
Workshops
Hands-on sessions designed for doing, not just talking — where real challenges are unpacked, ideas are shaped together, and clear next steps emerge.
Marketplace/Exhibition
A curated space built for genuine connection — where organisations, funders, and changemakers meet, explore, and form partnerships that extend beyond the Summit.
