For the seventh year running... ThinkTent at Conservative Party Conference

Sunday 4th - Tuesday 6th October

 
Conference season in 2020 looks quite different to previous years but ThinkTent – a staple of the fringe scene at the Conservative Party Conference – has remained in place, virtually speaking.

This year, as ever, the Institute of Economic Affairs and The Taxpayers' Alliance will host journalists, academics, politicians, business leaders and think tankers on a range of topics including the future of the BBC, fiscal policy after coronavirus, and carbon taxes.
 
As we are going virtual for the first time, the physical limitations of the tent no longer apply, meaning anyone can join from their homes and offices without needing to sign up.

Our panels will be live-streamed on the brand new ThinkTent YouTube Channel and the event culminates in a Live With Littlewood special, Tuesday 6th October from 6pm.

All our panels are listed below, or for full details on the line up of events and information on speakers, visit the ThinkTent website.
