Daylight Summit
Philanthropic advising is at an important turning point. Demand for expertise is growing, new approaches and technologies are changing how advisors work, and expectations of the profession are evolving.
​
What should philanthropic advising look like five years from now? And what will it take to get there?
​
The Daylight Summit will convene professionals and leaders from across wealth management, philanthropy, law, accounting, family offices, foundations, charitable organizations, education, and research to explore these questions and help shape the field's next chapter.
An Opportunity to Move the Field Forward
Through facilitated conversations and working groups, participants will exchange perspectives, challenge assumptions, explore emerging opportunities, and identify priorities for advancing philanthropic advising over the next five years.
Together, we'll explore some of the field's most important questions:
-
How do we develop the next generation of talent and expand access to the profession?
-
How will AI and emerging technologies reshape advisory practice?
-
What research, tools, and infrastructure are needed to support the field's development?
-
How can we strengthen the quality, relevance, and impact of philanthropic advising?
Expect substantive conversations, fresh thinking, new relationships, and opportunities to influence where the field goes next.
The insights and priorities emerging from the Summit will inform a post-event report designed to help guide the field's development through 2032.
Join the Conversation
The future of philanthropic advising won't be shaped by any one organization or perspective. It will take people willing to challenge conventional thinking, share what they're learning, and contribute to something larger than their own work.
