Annual Conference

The annual conference gives members the chance to meet with over 650 professionals and representatives from philanthropy, corporates, (I)NGOs, EU and multilateral institutions, think tanks and the media.

Participants share, learn and explore together new ideas and approaches to tackling the urgent challenges of our times, forging connections that last well beyond the conference.

The event is held in a different European city each year, rotating back to Brussels regularly to give delegates a chance to engage in Philea’s ongoing advocacy work with the EU institutions and policymakers.

If the AGA and Conference is about one thing, it’s about connection. At the event European philanthropy professionals and leaders can meet face-to-face with their peers in the sector, as well as with academics, policymakers and other representatives of civil society. Participants exchange and brainstorm during 3 days of conference sessions, workshops, plenaries, networking breaks, social events and site visits. Bonds formed among delegates last well beyond the conference. Philea staff help facilitate these connections – before, during and after the event.

Annual Conference 2022

The EFC and Dafne Annual Conference 2022 will take place in Barcelona from 30 May to 1 June, hosted by “la Caixa” Foundation.

Scholarship programme

To support participants who would not otherwise be able to attend the conference, Philea organises the scholarship programme to fund the registration fee, and other associated costs, for potential participants who wish to attend the conference. The programme provides an opportunity for colleagues working in smaller foundations to expand their knowledge of the foundation world while simultaneously bringing to the conference the challenges, best practices and innovations of their own organisations.
