Across Australia, place-based initiatives tell a consistent story: meaningful change is happening locally, but there is no shared or consistent way to define, measure or explain that impact. Different funders ask for different evidence. Different frameworks pull in different directions. Too much time is spent translating work into multiple reports instead of focusing on delivery.
The Place-Based Impact Summit is a two-day, hands-on summit focused on fixing that. It is a practical, applied event to align communities, initiatives, practitioners, funders and governments around clearer, shared approaches to impact.
This is a working summit with a program built for active participation, by bringing the place-based ecosystem together to build a shared understanding that incorporates different perspectives and experiences from across Australia, and a shared commitment to action.
