SPN presents a thought-provoking session designed to ask the big questions about reporting and compliance.

In collaboration with SocialPro, we will be hosting a 2-hour collaborative workshop that will consider some of the most pressing questions challenging our sector:

How do we balance the precision of raw data with the nuance of human stories?
Can we standardise storytelling without losing its authenticity?
Should frameworks support multiple forms of evidence—data, stories, testimonies, visuals—or is that beyond the scope of a single system?
How do we ensure practitioners, not just policymakers, shape future reporting framework?

SPN invites social procurement practitioners to come together and challenge the conventional. Reporting doesn't have to be dry. It can inspire. Inform. Even transform.

This is not a sit-and-listen session. It’s a space for curious practitioners, bold thinkers, and data-weary doers to gather, challenge assumptions, and co-create better ways forward.

What to expect:

Team-based exploration of some of the toughest questions in reporting
Creative facilitation techniques that spark bold ideas
Collaborative, energising conversations with peers who care deeply about impact
Practical takeaways you can bring back to your team or organisation

Whether you write reports, read them, or rely on them to make decisions—this session is for you.
