Paving the way for the next generation of leaders
The Emerging Leaders programme brings young leaders aged 18-30 into crucial national conversations with established leaders. This programme bridges generational gaps and cultivates diverse perspectives.
The applications portal for the Anthropy27 Emerging Leaders programme is now open
Young people are the leaders of tomorrow, and the inheritors of todays decisions. Essential innovation will come from collaboration between established and emerging leaders – neither generation can fix everything alone.
The Emerging Leaders programme, sponsored by Brandpie, was born out of the desire of established leaders to hear the perspectives of our future leaders. To accelerate such collaboration, the national gatherings foster intergenerational dialogue and learning across a broad range of industries.
Emerging Leaders receive a complimentary ticket for all three days of the Anthropy national gathering, granting them access to all main sessions spanning the wide range of themes.
The Emerging Leaders programme is led by the Anthropy Emerging Leaders Alliance a leadership team of young people and specialist youth organisations who work collaboratively to craft topics and secure speakers for certain sessions within the UKs largest shared agenda.
A selection of Emerging Leaders are also invited to lead in discussions, workshops, and sessions alongside established leaders, where their fresh-thinking, perspectives, and experiences are valued.
If you’re interested in nominating or becoming an Emerging Leader, they/you need to be aged between 18 and 30 years old and have some leadership-relevant experience. This could be through work, civic engagement, volunteering, or spearheading a project.
Applications are open for leaders and future leaders who are ready to contribute to a community focused on making real change. If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
You can now apply or nominate a rising star to experience the Anthropy national gathering as an Emerging Leader.
Joining the Emerging Leaders Programme offers participants a unique opportunity to step outside the everyday environment and be immersed in a unique and dynamic setting.

Guided personal development
During Anthropy26, Emerging Leaders received exclusive access to personal development opportunities with Strategic Communications Mentor for the Anthropy26 Emerging Leaders Programme, Paul Boross MBE. Paul’s work is dedicated to helping people speak with clarity, communicate with confidence, and perform under pressure – whether on stage, in a room, or in life. As part of the Emerging Leaders experience, participants had the opportunity to benefit from Paul’s training and insights in a way that supported their growth as a leader and prepared them to fully engage with the opportunities at Anthropy26.
Brandpie, who sponsor our Emerging Leaders programme, and co-chair the Emerging Leaders Alliance, will be running virtual sessions inviting all Emerging Leaders signed up by January to dial in and contribute to the creation of three Emerging Leaders sessions at the Anthropy national gathering.
All Emerging Leaders are invited to join workshops and sessions side by side with established leaders. Some Emerging Leaders will also have the opportunity to participate on panels, ensuring your voice is heard on critical national conversations.
