SIX Retreats
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our small, carefully curated, retreats help unpack some of the big strategic questions facing trusts and foundations all over the world. They provide the necessary space for deeper future facing work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIX retreats draw on the latest global thinking and practice and provide opportunities for peers to support each other. We invite a small group of leaders from across the world to step away from their day to day operations and interactions; think critically about topics beyond the buzzwords; connect with global peers (beyond their usual networks) on questions keeping them awake at night; and develop strong, lasting relationships.

Since 2016, we’ve hosted nine retreats in Canada, Australia and the US, and hosted one online. Read more about the retreats below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Foundations all over the world are grappling with their role in the emerging field of data and artificial intelligence but despite the potential of using data for social good, philanthropy isn\u2019t engaging in this field fast enough, and is well behind other sectors.\u00a0 What does philanthropy need to build more capacity in this area?
