Foundation Leadership Roundtable
Two days. Six forums. Five organisations. A first conversation about how we work together.
Proceedings
Public summaries of the six forums of the 2026 Roundtable. Produced from full session transcripts. Specific numerical claims have not all been independently verified — see the methodology footnote on the about page.
All six forumsSandboxes
Permeable incubators for best practices. Sue Seccombe’s framing in the closing forum: shared workspaces where work can grow without any one organisation owning the result. Two sandboxes today, plus a capability commons and a watchlist.

How Can We Help One Another
The closing forum — how can we help one another. Origin of the sandbox concept.
Chair: Chris Wood · Closing: Mo Siegel
“What we're looking for is something like a place where things can incubate… these sandboxes need to almost be structured, like the study group portal, where there isn't really an organisation that owns the fluidity of what comes in and out.”
Coordination surfaces
AllAV
Audio-Visual
A creative incubator for video, animation, and audio production carrying the revelation.
Curation
Content Curation & Surfacing
How the community surfaces, rates, and amplifies its best work — across formats — for the audience it is actually trying to reach.
AI Hub · commons
AI Knowledge Centre
A coordination utility for AI workflows, prompts, training, and vendor advice. Not a sandbox — a shared toolbox.
Convened annually
A beginning, not a conclusion.
Mo Siegel committed to convening the Roundtable annually. The closing forum produced one sandbox concept, one task force, and a number of open invitations.
