What does it take to build an organisation that’s not only passionate, but sustainable, resilient, and effective too?

At this year’s Love Cities Annual Conference, we’re excited to learn from Gaye Evans, who has spent more than 30 years helping organisations across South Africa build stronger teams and healthier systems, from major corporates to NGOs making a real difference in communities.

Her workshops will be practical, interactive, and filled with tools you can actually take back and use straight away. No fluff. No overload of theory. Just real conversations, practical planning, and helpful systems to strengthen the work you’re already doing.

If you’re leading, serving, building, or dreaming about greater impact in your city, this is for you.

📍 17–21 June 2026
⏰ Bookings close 1 June

We can’t wait to see you in June!

There’s something powerful about being in the room together. 🤝

From the beautiful city of Nelson Mandela Bay, Dirk van der Mescht from .nmb gives us a glimpse of what’s waiting for us at this year’s Love Cities Annual Conference — the venue, the spaces where we’ll connect, and the relationships that will be strengthened along the way.

This conference is more than sessions and speakers. It’s about people. Partnership. Shared vision. And building stronger relationships so we can transform our cities together, more effectively.

We can’t wait to gather with leaders, churches, NGOs, businesses, and community changemakers from across South Africa this June at Pine Lodge, Nelson Mandela Bay. 🌍

See you there.
