Chatham House is hosting a range of events at the Labour Party Conference on 22 and 24 September and the Conservative Party Conference on 1 October.
Thought leaders from both parties, policymaking and business will join Chatham House experts at a series of exciting events discussing UK interests in international trade, Britain’s global health and development role, and UK foreign policy in an uncertain world.
Olivia O’Sullivan said:
‘Chatham House is delighted to return to party conferences this autumn, convening important discussions about UK foreign policy in the context of a new government, an approaching US election, continuing international conflict, and significant global trade and health challenges.
