The BME National Conference 2024 promises to be a pivotal event, focusing on two crucial themes: the new opportunities presented by a Labour government and the urgent need to combat far-right extremism. This conference is a must-attend for housing professionals, policymakers, and community leaders committed to driving change and ensuring equality.

With the new government's desire to shape housing and social policy, as well as equality frameworks, this event will explore how these changes can create new opportunities for organisations working with Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities. It's a chance to understand how to engage with policymakers, influence legislation, and ensure that BME voices are represented in shaping the future.

In addition, with the rise of far-right extremism threatening the cohesion of our communities, the conference will feature expert speakers and panel discussions on strategies to combat hate and division. This theme is especially timely and relevant following the racist and Islamophobic riots of the summer. Attendees will learn how to foster unity, protect communities, and promote resilience against extremism.

Join us at the BME National Conference 2024 to be part of these critical conversations and drive forward positive change for BME communities.

The agenda is presently in draft form and remains subject to change as further updates or adjustments may arise.
