Registration is now open for the 2026 PILnet Global Forum! Join us on November 10-12 in Cape Town, South Africa. We are excited to once again come together for three days of engaging workshops, networking opportunities, and discussions, where we’ll work together to identify innovative strategies, partner to find solutions, and support the growth of pro bono in Africa and globally.
Each year, the PILnet Global Forum brings together lawyers, in-house counsel, and bar associations with representatives of civil society and academia from around the world to discuss how to best use pro bono and public interest lawyering to support nonprofit and civic organizations, and build more just, sustainable societies.
The Forum will take place at Century City Conference Centre. For information about accommodation in Cape Town, click here.

The PILnet Global Forum highlighted that the need for pro bono is rising and so is the need for new, innovative ways to deliver these services to enhance access to justice globally.

I’ve attended the PILnet Forum for many years and each year I come away with a new insight and connection. It is a unique space bringing together a global community with the common aim of improving access to justice through the power of pro bono.
