Future of Good is proud to announce our collaboration with five organizations for the 2024 Social Finance Forum. This year's forum promises to be an unparalleled experience, with in-person activations spanning across Canada.

The resounding success of our 2023 Social Finance Forum has spoken volumes—in Toronto and Vancouver, hybrid tickets sold out, engaging over 150 and 100 attendees, respectively. The feedback from 96% of changemakers highlighted the significance of peer-to-peer learning and networking, making them feel more empowered in their work. Almost 100% expressed their eagerness to return in-person next year.

At Future of Good, we listen to the pulse of changemakers. Our commitment is to prioritize their desires and create experiences that resonate with their needs. The sector demands it, and the time is ripe to reconvene in person, centering our communities for impactful and meaningful change.

The in-person aspect will take place on day 1, June 12, and there is limited space available.
