The City of Canning, Perth Western Australia is seeking Expressions of Interest from researchers, local governments and government agencies, individuals, groups, social enterprises and businesses who are applying creative, innovative and courageous responses to the policy and practical challenges of our time, and looking for incredible ways to inspire our broader community to collaborate closely on co-creating shared solutions to sustainability issues.

We have a limited number of spaces available for inspiring speakers / presenters, panellists, workshop facilitators, activity producers, hypothetical MCs, and other creative approaches to the theme of Owning Our Impact.

We’re looking for ‘out-of-the-box’ impact managers at all levels – whether you manage impact in your home, your street, your small business, your workplace, or even as the head of a major company, CEO of a local government, or Executive in a government agency. We believe that leadership for sustainability transcends titles and hierarchies – and exists at all levels of civil society, business and government.

So, if you’ve got something important to share, and you believe that in sharing your work or ideas you can inspire others to own their impact in their homes, work and world – then we want to hear from you!

We’re particularly interested in creative ideas that focus on:

• inspiring approaches or models for moving towards corporate sustainability through impact management (behavioural / educational / social impact / outcomes measurement)
• novel / emerging impact management ideas from the technology, circular economy, renewable energy, energy optimisation and efficiency space (resources)
• novel / emerging innovation impact management ideas from the doughnut economy, alternative economy, social impact, culture and creativity, social justice and ethics space (human capital)
• community led interventions, personal impact journeys, social entrepreneurship, not-for-profit social, environmental or economic work (community)

For further detail please see attached conference overview, challenge questions to guide potential presenters and the City of Canning’s 10 City Impact Domains.

If you can see yourself presenting a creative idea at the Conference apply here by CoB Friday February 4, 2022.

Kind regards
