EVENTS & GATHERINGS

One of FaithInvest's key goals in its Strategic Plan 20223-25 is to 'Play a central role in building a broad-based, well-coordinated Faith-Consistent Investing Movement'.  As part of that goal, we convene 'highly valued spaces where the FCI Movement can come together for meaningful conversation and dialogue around relevant topics'. 

In October 2022, we did just that with our Bold Plans and Faith-Consistent Investing conference in London and we are planning for a similar event in autumn 2023. More details to be posted soon.

In the meantime, check out our report on our 2022 Bold Plans event via the link below.
