Social Enterprise Summit 2026

Australia’s number one social enterprise event just got bigger This year's SECNA event includes a Social Enterprise Summit for business, government and social enterprise leaders (Friday 13 November) and a fun, friendly and hands-on Social Enterprise Festival (Saturday 14 November). Why a Summit? Social enterprises are: • Tackling Australia's biggest social and environmental challenges • Turning 'business as usual' on its head • Reshaping local economies • Offering high quality, high impact goods and services for governments and businesses wanting to see their procurement dollar go further Expect a day of insight, connection and practical guidance, with speaker streams for social enterprises (whether you're a new start-up or a $100 million business-for-good) and for businesses, funders and government (whether you're hearing about social enterprise for the first time or wanting to deeply understand the latest models and innovations). Why attend • Discover new social enterprise products and services • Learn about new ways of working, doing business and how procurement is changing • Dive into case studies of how social enterprises are tackling social and environmental challenges • See social procurement in action and speak to the experts to help guide you • Engage directly with social enterprise, business and government leaders We are grateful for the support of our 2026 partners: University of Sydney, NSW Government, MTC FutureReady, City of Sydney, Gateway Bank and Bambuddha Studios.
