Come along to our event in partnership with WonkComms looking at how think tanks can make the most of the 2015, how to sell their manifestos, and what they can and can't do in light of the lobbying act.
With just 6 months until polling day, the next election looms large on the horizon. Think tanks can’t ignore it and business-as-usual for research led organisations seems impossible in such a politically charged atmosphere. What should we do? What are we allowed to do (particularly in light of the Lobbying Act)? And how can Comms teams help their Wonks to get it done? Bite the ballot, don’t spoil your paper. Join us in person, via live stream or follow #WonkComms for ideas, opinions, debate & discussion on how can think tanks make the most of the UK General Election.
Speakers:
Rafael Behr – political columnist at the Guardian
Andrew Carter – Acting Chief Executive, Centre for Cities
Sonia Sodha – Head of Public Services & Consumer Rights at Which?
Jenny Ricks – Head of Campaigns, ActionAid UK
