This event is open to everyone. We hope you can join us for our first in-person event for over two years! The event will take place at The Bristol Hotel in central Bristol, close to the scenic harbourside.

Registration is free via Eventbrite and open to everyone. You can sign up here.

If you have any queries, please contact bristol-poverty-institute@bristol.ac.uk.

We expect this to be a popular event, so please register early to avoid disappointment. If you register then are no longer able to attend, please cancel your ticket so your place can be released for someone else.

 

Please be aware that the Bristol Poverty Institute plan to take photographs during the event, which we will share online (including our Twitter feed, website and/or blog). If you are uncomfortable with this, please notify a member of the BPI team on the day and we will endeavour to try and avoid including you in any photographs. Due to the nature of the event we cannot guarantee you won’t be in any images, but we will try and avoid taking photos where you are clearly visible.
