ICYMI, we’re turning 10 (!) this year. To celebrate, we held two special events—one in Nairobi and one in London—bringing together our global community of partners, innovators, and impact leaders for “The Shape of Things to Come: Bridging the Impact Gap.”
The idea was simple: let’s use our birthday as a moment to challenge ourselves—and the sector. Let’s stop talking about potential and start building practical answers to a critical question:
How do we turn good intentions into real, lasting impact?
Now, a few weeks later, we’re still coming down from the incredible energy of those events.
What followed exceeded anything we imagined. Across both cities, the response was overwhelming.
The Events in Numbers:
- 2 continents
- 220+ global attendees
- 5 thought-provoking panels
- 4 hands-on Impact Labs
- 6 visionary keynotes
- 50+ speakers and facilitators
- 20+ countries represented
And more importantly, countless new connections, collaborations, and ideas sparked.
We’ve now captured that energy in two powerful reports—not just summaries, but roadmaps.
These documents distil the sharpest insights and clearest calls to action from both events.
Inside, you’ll find:
🌱 What is and isn’t working to engage a new generation of changemakers
📉 How to proactively adapt as donor numbers drop by the million
👥 Why co-creation has gone from buzzword to must-have
🎯 How to actually reach the people you want to inspire
