They will share innovative strategies and approaches that showcase how philanthropy can be done differently. Attendees can expect inspiring stories and practical insights on leveraging technology, partnerships, and creative thinking to make a meaningful impact. Through their inspiring stories and practical examples, the panellists will demonstrate how creativity, passion, and a willingness to think outside the box can lead to transformative change in the world of philanthropy. Get ready for engaging discussions and actionable takeaways that will inspire you to redefine your philanthropic journey.

Collaborate Interactive Session

The collaboration session at the philanthropy symposium promises to be an engaging and interactive experience for all attendees. Facilitated by the renowned Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies, this session will delve into the potential and power of foresight and futures thinking in supporting the philanthropy community. During the session, participants will have the opportunity to explore what philanthropy could potentially look like in Ireland by leveraging foresight methodologies. By anticipating future needs and trends, attendees can gain valuable insights that will enable them to proactively address emerging challenges and opportunities in the philanthropic sector.

Moreover, the session aims to foster cohesion and collaboration within the philanthropy community. By coming together to collectively envision the future of philanthropy in Ireland, attendees can identify areas where collaboration can be optimised to maximise impact and effectiveness in addressing societal needs.
