ABOUT
WHAT IS FWD+ORGANISE?
FWD+Organise is a summit for community organisers and digital campaigners from across Australia and Aotearoa to share practical skills, learn innovative approaches to advocacy, and build lasting collaborations to win systemic change. The program includes keynotes, workshops, masterclasses and expert briefings.

FWD+Organise will run 5-6 December at Abbotsford Convent in Melbourne. FWD+Organise returns in-person for the first time since 2019. Previously it has been held in both Sydney and Melbourne, or online (in 2021) with social events in major cities.
WHO ATTENDS?
FWD+Organise convenes 300 leading grassroots, workplace and community organisers as well as digital advocates, campaigners and activists from organisations, unions and community movements across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. The 2021 online conference featured more than 60 speakers leading more than 50 sessions in the program. Find out who spoke at FWD+Organise 2021 here.
