CGI annual conference for governance professionals

Thanks to the Chartered Governance Institute joining us as a partner at this year’s Festival of Trusteeship, we’ll be exhibiting at their annual conference at the Novotel London West on 7th and 8th July 2026.

If you are attending the CGIUKI Annual Conference and are involved with a charity or not-for-profit organisation in any way, or are interested in becoming a charity trustee then please come and meet the team from Eastside People in the exhibition hall.

Find out about:

  1. The Festival of Trusteeship, the UKs biggest online event for trustees
  2. Our free Environmental, Governance and Social (ESG) online survey tool, designed for charities and not-for-profits to assess their progress every year.

The conference:

This year’s programme explores the forces reshaping governance today – from technological disruption to global uncertainty. Our speakers come from a range of organisations such as Aviva, Centrica, Department of Business and Trade, Dr. Marten, IASME, Nationwide Building Society, North West Air Ambulance Services, The FT, Wise and more.

AGENDA

Delegates will dive into some of the most pressing issues facing boards, organisations and governance teams, including:

  • Ethics in Cyber Security
  • AI and the Future of Governance
  • Crisis Communications
  • Geopolitics and Global Risk
  • Culture, Diversity and Inclusion
  • Governance Careers and Professional Growth and more!

We're looking forward to joining everyone at the 2026 CGIUKI Annual Conference. Please do come along to our stand for a chat about the role of governance in the charity and not-for-profit sector.

Richard Litchfield, CEO, Eastside People
