Leadership for Social Impact Forum
Online | June 15-16, 2027 | Live programming in 25 time zones
Join 1000+ dynamic leaders from across 100 countries for the Leadership for Social Impact Institute's online Leadership for Social Impact Forum.
Our theme this year is UPLIFT! Others and Yourself. And what could be more fitting!
Leaders in social impact face distinct challenges at every career stage: breaking through to senior roles, navigating complex organizational transformation, scaling impact with limited resources, and building the next generation of leaders.
In a time of rapid AI disruption, political uncertainty, and shifting funding landscapes, leading with intention requires fresh perspectives and trusted peers.
Connect with a truly global leadership community. Over 1,000 leaders from 200+ organizations across 100 countries will gather online, representing every career stage from emerging professionals to C-suite executives.
You'll learn from diverse speakers and facilitators spanning the globe, each bringing expertise from the development, humanitarian aid, and social impact sectors as well as private sector companies.
Through interactive workshops, thought-provoking plenaries, and our MentorMatch platform, you'll build relationships with peers who share your commitment to creating lasting change while navigating similar leadership challenges in their own contexts.

- Interactive Workshops
- Thought-provoking plenaries
- MentorMatch platform: find your mentor or mentee
