NBS Strong Community Symposium

IMPACT: Amplify Purpose, Minimise Footprint.

In today’s rapidly shifting landscape, the not-for-profit and for-purpose sectors are being called to do more, with less.

The 2025 NBS Strong Community Symposium is a gathering designed to help you rise to that challenge - equipping organisations with the tools, thinking, and connections needed to maximise impact and build long-term resilience.

This year’s theme, Impact, explores two important aspects of operating in today’s challenging environment:

1. Maximising organisational impact through innovation, collaboration, and the smart use of technology - including how AI can streamline operations, enhance storytelling, and support fundraising.

2. Minimising environmental impact by embedding sustainable practices across strategy, governance, and day-to-day operations.

The program will cover various topics that are essential for building capability in the community sector. The presentations and discussions are being designed to provide valuable insights, practical strategies, and actionable steps that participants can implement in their organisations. There will be plenty of time for networking and building connections with fellow participants and industry experts.

Whether you’re leading a not-for-profit or for-purpose organisation, running a social enterprise, or working behind the scenes in governance or comms, The NBS Strong Community Symposium is your opportunity to connect, learn, and re-energise your mission.
