Policy Live - 11 Sep 2025 09:30 – 18:30

Policy Live is back for 2025. We’re excited to announce that Policy Live will return this year with a fresh line-up of speakers, sessions and ideas.

The challenges facing the UK are well rehearsed: low growth, struggling public services and squeezed budgets both for households and for governments. We need bold ideas that can drive the social change necessary - and we need to do policy differently.

This year, Policy Live will demonstrate how we can do that. Come and listen to international experts reflect on their experience of delivering complex policy programmes; explore new methods of delivery; engage with fresh evidence from leading experts; and learn new ways of doing policy differently that you can apply in your work.
