Following our successful conference in 2025 at SOAS we are delighted to join forces with Compass this year to host the 2026 conference:
‘Change:NOW! Mobilising the Progressive Majority’, a day of debate, disagreement and deliberation between progressives of all parties (and none!) on Saturday 30th May 2026.
Get your tickets here : https://actionnetwork.org/ticketed_events/may_30_2026?source=pef&
The conference will feature speakers from across the progressive parties and movements, including keynote speeches from Andy Burnham and Caroline Lucas, as well as politicians like Miatta Fahnbulleh MP, Clive Lewis MP, Roz Savage MP, Vince Cable, movement leaders like Andrea Egan and Fatima Ibrahim, thinkers and writers like Kate Pickett, Guy Standing, Marc Stears, Ann Pettifor, James Meadway, and many more to be announced.
We’ll also be joined by partners including Friends of the Earth, UCL Policy Lab, New Economics Foundation, Make Votes Matter, Unlock Democracy, and Migrant Democracy Project.
We are splitting the day between focusing on what policies we need to deliver the change to reset our economy, and the political and cultural changes we need to bring about those policies.
Through establishing consensus on political strategy and economic direction – and highlighting the important differences in detail across progressive parties and the wider movement – this event will be the catalyst for the change our country so desperately needs.
So whether you’re a Labourite, a Green, a Lib Dem, otherwise spoken for or unaligned, get your ticket today and join us for what promises to be an inspiring and imaginative day of ideas and political debate!
The event will take place on Saturday 30th May at Rich Mix, 35-47 Bethnal Green Road, London, E1 6LA.
