Online - The government perspective: What nonprofits and funders need to do differently to get adoption
@
Would government adopt your solution if it worked, was rigorously tested, cost-effective and with strong evidence?

Most would assume yes. Government officials told us: not necessarily. Having a strong solution is not enough.

This webinar will unpack the findings of Spring Impact's Scaling with Government report, produced in partnership with Instiglio and LGT Venture Philanthropy, to surface how governments really assess risk, make decisions, and choose when (and whether) to institutionalise change.

We’ll be joined by government representatives, nonprofit leaders, and funders who’ve navigated this journey first-hand to explore: - The institutional conditions that need to align, and how to be ready when they do - What it takes to be the kind of partner governments can say yes to - How shifting from "how can government scale our model?" to "what problem is government trying to solve?" unlocks scale - How funders can absorb risk and open doors, and what patient, flexible capital looks like in practice

Online - The Augmented Practitioner: Putting AI to Work for the Impact Economy
@
A pragmatic, optimistic, and unusually hands-on exploration of AI as an instrument of empowerment in the Impact Economy.

For most of the impact economy, the conversation about artificial intelligence has been dominated by anxiety — about bias, opacity, displacement, and the concentration of power in a handful of technology companies. Those concerns are real and worth taking seriously. But they are only half the story. The other half is about agency: what happens when entrepreneurs, investors, and changemakers stop treating AI as a threat to be managed and start treating it as a capability to be mastered. Sateesh Nori has spent his career on the side of agency. After two decades on the front lines of New York City Housing Court, standing between families and eviction, he became one of the most credible voices arguing that AI is not a luxury for the well-resourced but a force multiplier for those working at the margins — the difference, as he puts it, between matching the scale of our tools to the scale of the need.

In this Luminarias conversation, we move from diagnosis to practice. Sateesh will share how he actually uses these tools — not in the abstract, but concretely: how to prompt large language models to think alongside you rather than merely answer you; how to encode your own judgment, voice, and analytical frameworks into AI systems so they extend your expertise rather than dilute it; and how a single practitioner, properly augmented, can now do work that once required a team. For impact entrepreneurs designing new ventures, for investors weighing finance and diligence decisions, and for organizations stretched thin against rising demand and constrained resources, the practical question is no longer whether to engage AI, but how to engage it well.

This is a session about reclaiming initiative. Drawing on his book The Augmented Lawyer and his work building direct-to-people justice tools, Sateesh brings a rare combination — frontline service experience, hard-won ethical clarity, and genuine technical fluency — to the question that matters most for our community: how do we wield increasingly powerful tools in service of systemic change, equity, and human dignity, rather than waiting to see what these tools do to us? Join us for a pragmatic, optimistic, and unusually hands-on exploration of AI as an instrument of empowerment in the Impact Economy.

Online - From Division to Connection - Healing ourselves and our community
@
Racial Justice Open Conversation

In unsettling times, it matters even more to nurture the connections that make us stronger as one community.

The present times are exhausting. They hurt. Retraumatise. Yet, they also show how we are much more than this. We are one community, made of incredible human beings from immensely rich ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds.

At the London ACEs Hub, we recognise that the significant harm caused by the adverse experience of racism is real. Equally real, nevertheless, is our human capacity to endure, to heal, and to grow, both as individuals and as a community.

Join us as we slow down to face the monsters of prejudice, discrimination, and “cold rage”. Together, we will create a nurturing conversation to engage with a much more powerful truth, and the buffers that enable us not only to resist, but to persist: connection and love.

Speakers; Leroy Logan M.B.E. is a retired Metropolitan Police Superintendent, co-founder of the Black Police Association, Mark Crick works within Children’s Services, where he focuses on addressing the impact of racial inequality and building local anti-racist practice, Dr Muna Abdi, researcher, working at the intersection of leadership, community accountability, racial equity and organisational change.

Online - Launching Church Expressions
@
Discover how to become a leader whose life and ministry naturally reproduce in others. Launching Church Expressions webinar invites church leaders and movement-minded disciples into the bold and often uncomfortable practice of launching new church expressions. Dave Ferguson, joined by special guest Andres Spyker, will explore how multiplication shifts from a “want-to someday” to a “have-to now,” confronting the tensions of Kingdom versus castle, comfort versus courage, and safety versus legacy. Through real stories of church planters, everyday believers, microchurch movements, and global multiplication, you’ll discover why planting new expressions of church is essential to the mission of Jesus…and how ordinary people saying “I’m available” can ignite extraordinary movements. Whether you feel excited, intimidated, or stuck in addition mode, this webinar will equip and inspire you to take practical next steps toward launching new church expressions and leading with a courageous yes.

Online - Making Disciple Makers
@
Making Disciple-makers webinar invites church leaders and movement-minded disciples into the bold and often misunderstood practice of making disciple-makers. Dave Ferguson, joined by special guest J.D. Greear, will explore how discipleship shifts from information to transformation—and from good intentions to reproducible obedience. Confronting the tensions between decisions and disciples, programs and people, knowledge and lived faith, this conversation draws from Scripture, research, and real stories of leaders who have seen ordinary believers become spiritual parents. You’ll discover why making disciple-makers isn’t an optional ministry lane, but the central calling of the Church—and how slow, faithful obedience can produce lasting gospel fruit. Whether you feel convinced but overwhelmed, hopeful but unsure where to start, or stuck in activity without multiplication, this webinar will equip and inspire you to take practical next steps toward forming disciples who multiply disciples.
