Party Conference Fringe Events in 2019
Last year we hosted successful events at both the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester and Labour Party Conference in Brighton.
At Conservative Party Conference we hosted a joint event with Conservative Home discussing ‘When is Immigration Good for Britain?‘. We heard from Alberto Costa MP, now former MEP Dan Hannan, former Home Office Special Advisor, Salma Shah and British Future’s Director Sunder Katwala, whilst Conservative Home’s Mark Wallace chaired the event. You can read more about this event here.
Our event at Labour Party Conference saw our panel discuss ‘How Can Labour Find its Voice on Immigration?’. A packed room heard from Labour MPs, Paul Blomfield and Lisa Nandy as well from Stephen Hale of Refugee Action, Wilf Sullivan from the TUC and Alexandra Bulat from the 3Million. You can read more about our event here.
