The world has its great
impact gatherings…
Australia should too.
The world’s most important ideas now travel through a handful of great impact gatherings. Impact Week Sydney and The Global Impact Summit is purpose built to establish Sydney as a global hub for social impact.
The city becomes the stage for climate action every September.
A global convening that brings business, government and civil society together around a shared agenda.
Europe’s gathering for solutions to the world’s biggest challenges.
A global platform connecting changemakers, investors and organisations turning ideas into action.
Australia’s week for people, planet and society.
A new Asia-Pacific gathering designed to put impact at the heart of the region.
Generosity is humanity’s oldest and most universal language… and we have a unique opportunity to make it effortless to speak.
Trust is falling and loneliness is rising. The people building positive change need somewhere to meet, in person.
Philanthropy, business, government, technology and community are solving the same problems, rarely in the same room.
Other global cities have a week the world plans around. Sydney is ready for its own.
In a country
like nowhere else.
The world’s oldest continuous living cultures. Reefs, oceans and wilderness that the planet’s future depends on. Increasingly diverse communities. And a generation of founders and philanthropists who have shown the world how to build for good.
We’re not starting from zero. We’re building on a proven Summit.
A Summit at the heart.
A city around it.
Impact Week makes the Summit bigger than a conference. The Summit makes Impact Week more than a festival.
The heart. Three premium days at the State Theatre and Walsh Bay for the people leading, funding and building change.
A home base on the harbour, a major public experience in the heart of the city, and Impact Live: the night the week comes alive.
Official Impact Week events hosted right across Sydney by charities, cultural institutions, universities, businesses and venues.
The heart of the weekStart lite.
Grow to global.
It starts lite: a focused first edition of Impact Week, built around a proven Summit and designed to be delivered brilliantly. From there, a three-year vision to grow it into a globally significant event and position Australia as a global impact hub.
A focused first week built around a stronger, three-day Global Impact Summit. Prove the model, build the partnerships and start the conversation.
Grow the ecosystem, Impact Solutions, public participation, Impact Capital, New Voices and our presence across Asia-Pacific.
International delegations, global solutions and a significant international profile.
A globally significant event that brings the world to Sydney every August, with Australia recognised as a global impact hub.
A longer table.
Not a higher fence.
No single organisation can build a week the world plans around. It will take all of us: partners, storytellers, hosts and the communities we serve. This is the very beginning, and there’s a seat at the table for everyone who wants to help build it.
