Now in its 19th year, Trustee Exchange 2026 is a friendly and practical conference for charity trustees and senior leaders.
The theme this year is ‘Confronting realities and embracing change’. Nobody reading this needs me to tell them how tough it is out there right now: at a macro level we are facing escalating global tensions, unprecedented threats from climate change and AI, and acute political discord; while day to day, charities are grappling with rising costs, volatile funding, and unrelenting demand for their services. Over the last couple of years, sector news outlets have been awash with stories of charities shrinking, merging or going to the wall, and the challenges driving these changes don’t seem likely to abate any time soon.
So at this year’s Trustee Exchange, we will lean into this reality, and help you, as trustees and senior executives, to govern and lead proactively in this time of overwhelming unpredictability. Most of the sessions will give you tools and ideas for giving your charity its best chance at sustainability – with topics from diversifying fundraising and maximising investment income, to using AI and protecting your reputation through innovative ethics training. But we also want to acknowledge the scale of the challenges and complexities facing civil society, and explore what responsible leadership looks like in this era of profound uncertainty, with its potential for organisational contractions, transitions, and even endings.
Trustee Exchange usually sells out, so get your (team) tickets early. We look forward to seeing you there.
