Major lectures and conferences

Reform holds major conferences and lectures to bring together wider audiences. We normally attract audiences of around 100-200 leaders in the policy debate, including policymakers, practitioners, officials, businesses, academics and the press. A typical conference would last half a day with a keynote speech by a lead political speaker and a number of panel discussions.

Reform works to get good media attendance at conferences in the aim of raising the profile of the discussions with media coverage of the debates.

Reform produces a publication to go alongside the day to include articles from each speaker as well as contributions from the Reform team. The brochure presents authoritative opinions and insightful research on the major themes of the event and would add to its impact.

A sponsor company would have the opportunity to participate in a panel discussion, provide signage at the event and contribute to the conference brochure.
