2025 has been a year of disruption and change for social impact leaders: economic uncertainty, political scrutiny, technological transformation, and shifting stakeholder expectations have all brought unique challenges and opportunities to the field. As the year winds down, NationSwell will lead a conversation on what worked, what didn’t, and where the biggest opportunities lie for 2026.

This highly interactive workshop will help you step back, make sense of the past year, and pull through the most salient learnings and insights for your team and organization to hit the ground running in 2026.

Together, we will:

• Extract key lessons and insights from 2025,
• Surface the most promising opportunities for innovation and improvement in impact execution, and
• Identify smart tactics for getting your team and your strategy off to a running start in the new year.

To encourage open and candid discussion, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations. This ensures a trusted space for thoughtful dialogue and deeper insights.
