The last few weeks have been an interesting time for us here at Policy Connect and our stakeholders.

After a General Election comes re-engaging all of our previous parliamentary stakeholder and attracting new ones to work towards our mission to lead the development of new policy ideas through evidence and collaboration. Oh - and all of our All-Party Parliamentary Groups must be reconstituted. All in all a busy start to 2020.

We hope you can join us for some of our upcoming parliamentary activity and have listed our confirmed events for the first two months of 2020 below. The events we have planned so far include priority sessions for the new government, several roundtables as well as some panel events for our members and we look forward to welcoming you to these in the New Year. Please get in touch with our media and communications manager  Susie James (Susannah.james [at] policyconnect.org.uk (Susannah[dot]james[at]policyconnect[dot]org[dot]uk)) if you have not yet signed up and are keen to join a particular session.
