QLD Chapter Special Interest Groups (SIG): The Modern Advancement Engine: What’s Driving Growth in 2026 and Beyond?

The QLD Chapter committee invites you to join us at our 2nd SIG event which will be held at Ballymore Stadium.

The program will open with a feature In Conversation facilitated by Helen Turner, QLD Chapter Vice-President, before breaking into three SIG sessions.

Following this feature conversation, participants will transition into three SIG sessions:

  • Admissions
  • Fundraising
  • MarComms

Key Takeaways

  • Gain fresh perspectives on the challenges that matter most to your work right now.
  • Connect with peers who understand your world and are navigating the same landscape.
  • Walk away with ideas you can actually put into practice.

Registrations are essential.

Members are encouraged to attend the full program to gain maximum value from both the feature conversation and SIG discussions.
