The Australian Social Cohesion Summit 2026, hosted by the Scanlon Foundation Research Institute, returns following a successful inaugural event that brought together almost 400 leaders, researchers, policymakers and community representatives from across Australia.

The program features leading national and international speakers, thought-provoking panel discussions, interactive workshops, fishbowl sessions, networking opportunities and the launch of the Mapping Social Cohesion Report 2026, Australia’s longest-running study of social cohesion.
