This October, DTNI marks 15 years of advancing community-led approaches to economic and social development. Our 2025 conference brings together community organisations, policymakers, and researchers to explore how local power can shape a fairer, more democratic economy.

With keynotes on wealth building, public policy, and the social economy – plus panels, provocations and practice-led sessions – the event will spotlight the role of place-based innovation in building a plural economy for Northern Ireland.

Whether you’re working in community development, public service, local enterprise or advocacy, join us to connect, reflect on our work so far, and get ready to act.
