Now in its third year, NRICH is ntegrity’s client-exclusive conference designed to give back to the people building a better world. Held in Melbourne and Sydney, it’s a space to pause, connect, and think beyond the day-to-day.
As the not-for-profit sector navigates shifts in donor and customer behaviour, AI, and economic uncertainty, we’ll hear from organisations leading the way—like The Salvation Army, Vision Australia, and Bush Heritage—plus expert digital insights from our team and partners.
NRICH is a day for big ideas, practical tools, and honest conversations amongst leaders and teams. Places are limited—save yours today.

WHAT IS NRICH?
NRICH is ntegrity’s one-day, invite-only conference held in Melbourne and Sydney — created exclusively for our not-for-profit clients.
Now in its third year, we designed it as a day where we could build up the sector we love, discuss the challenges and opportunities of the future, and give back to our amazing clients who give so much everyday.
At its heart, NRICH is about ambition and bold thinking. We know that it is challenging for our clients to get out of the day-to-day and create space to think bold. So we have created this space to do just this.
The day itself will blend professional development sessions and case studies from leaders and not-for-profits, team workshops, networking and connection, great food and drinks, wellness experiences, and of course gifts!
95% of previous attendees say they’d recommend NRICH Conference to a friend, and we book out in advance every year. So make sure to RSVP today.
We can’t wait to see you there!
