About the New Directors’ Conference

Our 2027 Directors’ Conference marks an exciting evolution in how we bring our professional communities together. Replacing the annual in‑person Professional Directors Network meetings, this brand‑new format unites all networks for a single, collaborative event—while still maintaining each group’s distinct focus and priorities.

This refreshed approach opens the door to richer shared learning, cross‑network insight, and stronger collective leadership across the voluntary sector. By gathering every professional network in one place, members can benefit from both dedicated sessions and sector‑wide dialogue.

The day will feature:

• Network‑specific sessions shaped around the priorities of each professional group
• Cross‑network discussions exploring shared challenges and emerging issues
• Joint panels and shared learning opportunities designed to strengthen leadership across the sector

Bringing these networks together—HR, Operations, Digital, Housing and Finance—creates a unique opportunity for Directors to deepen connections, exchange insights, and contribute to a more collaborative future for our membership.

We are excited about the opportunities this new format offers and look forward to delivering a vibrant and impactful Directors’ Conference in 2027.
