Bristol is renowned for its independent streak, its passion and its activism – qualities that attract students from across the world who are driven by the desire to create positive change. The Bristol Hub helps to connect students eager to make a difference with worthwhile causes - including through annual conferences.

Every year, around 2,000 students attend conferences and speaker events, including the Bristol International Development Conference, the Futures Forum on sustainability, and the RISE Social Enterprise conference. Such events are the perfect setting for students to engage in issues beyond their degree, as well as providing invaluable opportunities to network with like-minded others.
