👉 3 Reasons to Join the 2026 Collective Impact Action Summit (Plus a not-so-secret 4th!) https://collectiveimpactforum.swoogo.com/ciactionsummit26/9927407

Taking place online April 14–16, the 2026 Collective Impact Action Summit brings together backbone leaders, practitioners, funders, and partners working to strengthen collaborative change in communities around the world.

Here are three reasons many collaborative leaders return to the Action Summit each year.

1. Learn practical strategies from peers from across the field

Explore 30+ breakout sessions covering critical topics to support better collaboration, including community engagement, data and learning, fundraising, advocacy, and how to ethically use AI for collective work. Sessions are designed to share real world examples and practical approaches you can apply in your own work.

If you cannot attend every session live, a majority of breakout sessions will be recorded and available for three months after the Summit. You’ll be able to watch again on your schedule. (Want to review the agenda? https://collectiveimpactforum.swoogo.com/ciactionsummit26/agenda)

2. Hear inspiring Keynote Conversations

This year’s keynote stage features conversations on sparking community joy with comedian and storyteller Baratunde Thurston, Broadway superstar Jinkx Monsoon, and civic change leader Eric Liu.

3. Connect with a global community of collaborative leaders

Join hundreds of participants from across sectors who are working to build stronger partnerships and advance community change in their regions. The Summit app helps participants connect during the event and continue conversations afterward.
