From dinners to residential retreats, our events bring together philanthropists and experts for discussion, learning, and connecting with peers. Our in-house team produces highly curated events worldwide with a structured programme of Longview events to best serve the aims of the philanthropists we work with.
Community
Great work is not done in isolation.
Along with research, grantmaking, and donor education, we are passionate about creating and fostering an ecosystem of thoughtful people working for positive change. At our annual retreats, we bring together philanthropists, academics, industry leaders, public intellectuals, policy-makers, and other brilliant people who deeply care about improving the world.
Longview Events
September 2022
Annual Retreat 2022
Ascot, UK
Over four days, Longview brought together 65 communicators, policymakers, philanthropists, and moral entrepreneurs. Through a structured agenda of sessions, activities, curated meals, and one-on-one time, philanthropists deepened their knowledge of key cause areas and built a community of peer funders.
June 2022
Media Retreat
New York, US
We hosted a small group retreat in New York focused on encouraging impartial, scope-sensitive, truth-seeking media. Over 200 project ideas were borne out of this retreat.
It can sometimes be difficult to make an event truly interactive and valuable; the Longview team is incredibly thoughtful and were able to do so seamlessly. Their learning session was unlike any other informational webinar, and all participants were engaged, empowered and left with new insights!
