Masterclass Monday

The theme for the Philanthropy Australia Conference 2026 is Mobilising Generosity, Shaping the Future. 

In our 50th year, we’re reimagining generosity as something every Australian can embrace, linking it to justice, sustainability and long-term impact. The 2026 theme reflects a pivotal moment: a call for bold action, creative thinking and collective effort to shape giving.

Masterclasses are immersive three-hour workshops led by experienced practitioners and sector leaders. They provide professional development for those working across the philanthropy and social impact ecosystem, blending practical skills, real-world examples, emerging approaches and peer learning.

• Up to 16 masterclasses delivered across two dedicated session blocks (morning and afternoon).
• Limited places available.
• Masterclasses will be sold separately to the Core Conference.
• Tickets are on sale now. Click here to register.

Who are they for?

Participants who want to grow their impact: trustees, board members, managers, philanthropic advisers, emerging leaders, fundraisers and strategists. Participants will come to learn, share and elevate their practice in shaping the future of giving.

Registrations for Masterclass Monday are now open. Places are limited and expected to fill quickly.
