Philanthropy Australia 2021 Conference: Sessions

Join us this April and May as we come together for the Philanthropy Australia Conference 2021 to explore: what does the future need from us, now? This interactive online conference will bring philanthropists and social change makers from across the globe together with leading thinkers, strategists and voices to act as a catalyst for change at a critical time in our collective history. As we look toward a post-COVID future, the thought-provoking conference program will unpack and debate the future needs of our society and the role of philanthropy, and ask: which direction should we take? Who decides? And based on what evidence or signals? The conference will kick off on 21-22 April (AEST) with two dynamic days of virtual speaker sessions and panel discussions. On 5-6 May, after time to reflect and refresh, participants will come back together for two days of interactive, inspiring workshops.

Speakers include:

  • Phil Buchanan, President of the Center for Effective Philanthropy (US)
  • Naina Batra, Chairperson of the Asian Venture Philanthropy Network (Singapore) 
  • Professor Marcia Langton AM, anthropologist, geographer and Foundation Chair of Australian Indigenous Studies at the University of Melbourne (Australia) 
  • Edgar Villanueva, Senior Vice President of Programs and Advocacy at the Schott Foundation (US) • Valerie Chang, Managing Director, Programs, MacArthur Foundation (US)
