Global Convening - 2026
Save the Date!
Join us on June 9-12, 2026 in Nairobi, Kenya. Registration opens in January 2026. We’re already looking forward to being with you!
Each June, our invitation-only Global Convening brings together education providers, investors, policymakers, and advocates to sharpen strategy, test ideas, and make lasting connections. We can’t wait to gather in Nairobi, Kenya from June 9-12, 2026 for our fourth annual Global Convening. This is an invitation-only gathering of Alliance members, friends, and partners who share our commitment to building fair and ethical student finance.
This year brings even more ways to connect and learn together:
- Field Lessons – Step into the work, meet students, and see ISAs in action.
- Safari Experience – Close out the Global Convening with a day together in Nairobi National Park, the world’s only wildlife park located within a capital city. Just 10 km from downtown Nairobi, the park is home to lions, giraffes, rhinos, and buffalo—all set against the stunning backdrop of the city skyline. It’s a chance to connect with each other in nature and experience a truly unique part of Kenya.
“The Global ISA Alliance convening was truly unforgettable. Connecting with so many people dedicated to ethical student financing reminded me how powerful our shared mission is — and how much more we can achieve together.”
“The Global Convening wasn’t just inspirational — it was practical. We explored how to scale ISAs responsibly: co-creating ethical frameworks, shaping impact metrics, and learning from the microfinance sector’s evolution from experimentation to standard-setting.”
