"...being at an IfG event feels like being in somebody’s sitting room listening to a high level conversation that you feel like you have little right to be privy to....it is an invaluable thing."
—Tim Rowbottom
We run a diverse range of events linked to our research and learning programmes. These are designed to stimulate fresh thinking and provide platforms for some of the world's most innovative public servants, politicians and leading academics to share the latest thinking on better government.
Interactive, informative and topical, our events programme provides opportunities to engage through both formal debate and informal discussion.
Events range from conferences and lectures to small, focused seminars and workshops on contemporary issues affecting government.
Our building is set in the heart of Westminster and Whitehall and provides an ideal meeting place for the government community to discuss the challenges of making government work.
Who should attend?
Our events are designed for:
- senior civil servants
- politicians
- policy makers
- experts
- academics.
