Since 2014, the Collective Impact Forum’s annual convenings have brought together thousands of changemakers to learn, share experiences, and strengthen their collaborative work. During these gatherings, thousands of practitioners have contributed tools, resources, and stories, helping make these times together a place where we can learn from and with one another.
In 2027, we will move from a three-day virtual Summit in the spring to a one-day virtual convening in the fall. This means we will not host a spring Summit in 2027.
We are making this change to align the gathering with our team’s capacity while continuing to offer a valuable and engaging learning experience for people working toward collaborative change.
We know many of you have valued the opportunity to spend several days exploring ideas and connecting with peers. A shorter gathering will mean fewer sessions, and we are approaching its design thoughtfully. Our focus will remain on uplifting practical tools that you can apply to your work, candid and grounded stories from the field that delve into the realities of long-term change work, and opportunities to learn with others working towards collaborative change.
We will also continue our annual Call for Sessions, to uplift practitioner experiences in next year’s convening. Sharing the experiences and insights of practitioners remains central to this gathering, and we look forward to inviting proposals from across the field.
In early 2027, we will announce our Fall event date and share session submission guidelines. Stay tuned to our newsletter and website for updates as plans take shape.
In the meantime, our workshops and other learning opportunities will continue to offer ways to connect, explore resources, and learn alongside one another.
Thank you for being part of the Forum community and for bringing your experience, questions, and commitment to our shared learning.
We look forward to gathering with you in this new format in fall 2027.
