This year's Symposium focuses on the key theme of Principles in Practice: Building Trust, Resilience and Sustainable Fundraising. 

Together at this event, we will move beyond theory and explore how strong principles translate into everyday practice – how we can strengthen trust, resilience, and long-term sustainability for our sector.

Event Details

• Dates: 28 and 29 July 2026
• Location: Waipuna Hotel and Conference Centre, Auckland
• Format:
  Day One (Specialist Workshops and Masterclasses)
  Day Two (Full Symposium and PFRA Awards)

Why Attend?

As we navigate a changing regulatory landscape, the 2026 Symposium serves as a vital bridge toward the PFRA’s transition to a principles-based Code of Conduct. This is your opportunity to gain early visibility of the sector's direction of travel before formal consultations begin later this year.

Our streamlined, single-stream programme prioritises depth over volume, ensuring you can engage fully with every session without the stress of missing out.

Programme Highlights

• Keynote Sessions: Focused on leadership, public trust, and organisational resilience.
• Practical Workshops: Deep dives into Regular Giving (RG) sustainability and vulnerability management.
• Case Studies: Real-world insights into protecting and rebuilding brand trust.
• The PFRA Awards: A concluding celebration to recognise excellence and best practice within our membership.
