As part of our commitment to lowering the carbon footprint of the conference, we will not be printing programmes as a matter of course. Please let us know if you need us to provide a printed copy of the conference information.

On day one you will enjoy morning and afternoon tea and lunch, as well as light refreshments at the networking drinks. On day two we will provide morning and afternoon tea and lunch. We also encourage you to register for the celebratory dinner and themed breakfasts, which we are offering at cost.  

The celebratory dinner is open to conference attendees, who have selected that they will attend that option.  

Included in registration are attendance at four keynotes, a choice of three breakout sessions from a total of 15, a networking function, food during the day and time to connect over morning and afternoon teas and lunches. In addition, you can register for themed breakfasts, masterclasses, and a celebratory dinner.

This is a conference for funders and key sector stakeholders. We limit attendance to philanthropists, grantmakers and stakeholders to ensure sufficient spaces for our target audience. If you’re not a funder and would like to know more about the conference, contact Lynne Umbers at lynne@philanthropy.org.nz.

The conference content caters for the diversity of the sector: from grantmakers to individual philanthropists and family members; from senior management through to grant assessors and corporate staff. There are tailored offerings for trustees and those with other governance roles. 

Whether you’re a corporate, energy or community trust, community foundation, individual, family foundation, specialist giver, or central or local government grantmaker, we will have relevant content for you.  

We don’t have a strict dress code. Dress so you are comfortable, which may be office wear or something more smart casual. You’ll have the option to go straight from the networking function to the celebratory dinner so you may want to choose clothes you’ll enjoy wearing in the evening as well.

When you register you’ll be asked for this information and there is a contact email address if you’d like to discuss your requirements.  

We know networking is an important part of this event to build relationships and support information sharing and collaboration. There’s a range of different types of networking. We offer a buddy service if you’d like to be introduced to someone before the conference, there are a number of food breaks, interactive breakout sessions, a networking function and then celebratory dinner. You’ll also enjoy the more relaxed themed breakfasts and learning together at masterclasses. We are using an interactive conference app where you can connect and message other conference goers.  

Yes, if you register 10 people, you will automatically be given the 10th place free of charge.
