ACT : On Tour prepares for the next stage of its Ardonagh-wide journey
Over 2026, ACT is on a globetrotting journey, taking its travelling exhibition, ACT : On Tour, to as many colleagues as possible across Ardonagh.
What began as an exhibition event in central London in 2025 is now more than half-way through a year-long tour, bringing ACT's story in different forms to our people across the Group.
No matter which business you are a part of or where you are based, we hope all our colleagues harness ACT to make a difference over their time as part of the Group.
Aligned to that mission, ACT : On Tour offers a specially curated showcase that brings to life just some of the countless stories, causes and impact of the Trust's nine-year history through objects, media, music and art to inspire even more colleagues to make the most of ACT's funding programmes.
Find out more about the upcoming stops on ACT : On Tour's journey, which will see it reach South America, Europe and Australia. Excitingly, a virtual version of the London exhibition event will also be joining the travels, both online and via VR headsets to create an even more immersive experience.
The journey so far
ACT : On Tour began in January with a two-day pop-up event in the home of Price Forbes in central London. From there, ACT made appearances at the Bravo Networks Conference in Liverpool and Everywhen's annual BIBA event hosted in Manchester.
From there ACT hit the road quite literally, with the exhibition aboard its very own bus for a seven-week trip visiting Everywhen, Ardonagh Analytics Lab and Arachas. Beginning on England's South coast, the route worked its way up the UK to Scotland, before hopping over to Northern Ireland and then into Ireland, ending in Dublin. In total, the green double-decker pulled in at 18 locations, reaching hundreds of colleagues.
Next up, going global
The second half of 2026 will see ACT reach colleagues in Ardonagh Europe, MDS Group and Envest Group.
In September, ACT : On Tour will appear at GLI's headquarters in Épône, France, alongside a special poster display taking over three floors in the Porto office of MDS Group in Portugal. On the other side of the world, ACT will be featured at Envest Group's Broking conference in Adelaide, Australia.
Next up, heading into October, ACT will travel to Assepro in Switzerland and in Spain at the upcoming Ardonagh Europe Leadership conference in Barcelona. The newest cohort to Ardonagh Academy's Horizons programme will also get a preview of ACT at their welcome event in London. Menwhile, colleagues in Brazil will be able to learn about all things ACT with a display in MDS Group's São Paulo office.
In November, Envest Group marks its tenth anniversary with a special gala dinner event in Brisbane, where once again ACT will be on display. Meanwhile, back in Europe there will be an ACT presence at Klap in Amsterdam and Orvia, also in the Netherlands.
Truly, ACT is exploring all corners of the Group before the end of the year.
