The social enterprise summit

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: City of Sydney, NSW Government, University of Sydney, MTC FutureReady, Gateway Bank, and Bambuddha Studios.
