Individuals & Retired Professional
We’re passionate about making the Global Impact Summit as accessible and inclusive as possible, not confined to sectors but open to people who have a passion for social impact and generosity.
The Global Impact Summit is a movement and community coming together across borders, cultures, generations, backgrounds and lived experiences to make the world a better place.
• It belongs to the student with a dream.
• The founder with a vision.
• The volunteer giving up their weekends.
• The executive trying to build a better culture.
• The teacher inspiring future leaders.
• The parent wanting to leave the world a little better than they found it.
And so, that's why we've introduced 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀 for the Global Impact Summit:

The future of impact will be built by people from all walks of life and our goal has always been to build a longer table, not a higher fence.
We'd love to save you a seat.
A World I See…
High-School student speaking opportunity.
If we're serious about creating a better future, we need to hear from the people who will inherit it.
Today, we're opening applications for school students to present at the Global Impact Summit as part of a special showcase called:
“A World I See”
We're inviting students to share their hopes, dreams, ideas, and vision for the future of impact.
What kind of world do they want to build?
What challenges do they want to solve?
What gives them hope for the future?
Selected students will have the opportunity to present their ideas as part of the Summit program and contribute their voice to a global conversation about the future.
Know a student who would jump at this opportunity? They can apply through this link.
We've also introduced a special Student Pass for Day One at the State Theatre for just $49 + GST, making it easier for young people to experience world-class speakers, ideas, and conversations that can inspire a lifetime of impact.
