Announcing: Impact Live!
One night only. The State Theatre. August 5th.
Generosity is the only universal language on the planet.
No matter where we come from, what we believe, or the challenges we face, generosity has the power to connect us.
Impact Live is a live experience that brings together music, storytelling, philanthropy and action to explore one simple but powerful truth: generosity is a language we all understand.
Featuring artists, changemakers, charities, philanthropists and community leaders, Impact Live shines a spotlight on the people and causes creating meaningful change—and invites everyone to be part of the story.
This isn’t another conference session.
It’s a movement in action.
It’s where stories inspire action, communities come together, and generosity takes centre stage.
NB: All 2-day pass holders will receive free access to this event. Additional public tickets will be on-sale through Ticket Master where standard fees and charges will apply.
