The 2012 Philanthropy Australia Conference, held at Dockside Conference Centre, Cockle Bay Wharf, Sydney, on Tuesday 4 September and Wednesday 5 September 2012, was a sell-out success.

Thank you to all speakers, delegates, sponsors and conference organisers for your participation in making it such an educative and networked event.

The conference theme of Making Philanthropy Our Business, with keynote speakers, covered four concurrent themes on:

• Emerging Issues in Philanthropy (e.g. in the areas of governance, investment / financial policies, grantmaking, regulation);
• Social Investment (e.g. new ways of financing, investment with financial returns, applicability of business principles);
• Towards Positive Outcomes (e.g. social media, overcoming barriers, education);
• Effective Practice in Grantmaking (e.g. models of innovative practice, sharing effective practice, measuring impact, advocacy, partnerships, collaboration, benchmarking).
