We know that the people doing the most meaningful public engagement work are often the ones with the least access to conference funding. That’s why subsidised tickets are available for the Engage Summit 2026. If you’re working in: ➡️ a community or voluntary organisation ➡️ a small cultural organisation ➡️ a CIC or social enterprise ➡️ a local authority or public body ...and cost is a barrier, we want you in the room. The Summit brings together universities, community partners, cultural organisations and funders to explore practical approaches to meaningful public engagement. This isn’t about theory. It’s about sharing power, building better partnerships, and learning from what’s actually working. Subsidised tickets are limited and allocated on a first-come basis. If the conversation feels relevant to your work, please don’t self-select out because of cost.
