NSW/ACT Chapter Summit 2025
We invite you to join together with fellow NSW/ACT Chapter colleagues for the MAKE TOMORROW, Creating the future together, Summit, a two-day professional development opportunity that will bring together Advancement Practitioners from across New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, all dedicated to shaping the future together.
The Summit, with sessions in Admissions, Alumni & Community Engagement, Fundraising, Marketing & Communications, Leadership and People & Culture, will be more than just a learning experience—it will also be an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and share insights with professionals who, like you, are passionate about building a better tomorrow.
Through engaging sessions, meaningful conversations, and shared ideas, you’ll gain the tools and inspiration to create the future you envision, supported by the collective wisdom and energy of the NSW/ACT Chapter community.
Don’t miss this opportunity … Let’s Make Tomorrow —together.
Note: Please note that photographs (official and candid) will be taken throughout the Summit. These will be uploaded to the photo gallery on the Educate Plus website, and will potentially also be used for Social Media and promotional purposes.
