Last week the Impact Frontiers team got together for a retreat in Berlin to plan the next stages of our field building, cohort, and convening work. In a first for all of us, our team building activity was a graffiti workshop — we were allowed only six letters, and were guided in how to add our contribution to the Berlin Wall (legally!). We look forward to sharing updates soon on the Impact Performance Reporting Norms, our expanding global cohort offerings, a 2026 convening for advanced IMM practitioners, and more! 

We are taking the conversation from the webinar series to real life in Nairobi! I am delighted to collaborate with Impact Frontiers to deliver a Masterclass on Impact Performance Reporting at the upcoming #2025AVPAConference. I look forward to engaging with participants from our webinars on the Impact Performance Reporting Norms and others interested in advancing impact measurement and transparent impact reporting across Africa.
