The Funding the Future Conference – four weeks away now

Posted on January 31 2026

I thought it was time to mention the conference that we are holding in Cambridge in four weeks' time, again.

We now have more than enough bookings to make sure that this event can go ahead, cover costs and be a success, but there is still room available. Tickets and details are available here, and if cost is a real impediment, please do mail me (my contact details are here) and we will see what we can do.

This is the programme:

The focus will be very much upon meeting and getting to know people, whilst discussing the state of the economy, the politics of care, technical issues that you want to raise, and whatever else (within reason) that you want to talk about, because more than half the time available will, in effect, be dedicated to question and answer sessions. That is because, based on my experience from previous meetings of this sort that I've done, this is what people want.

I hope to see you in Cambridge in four weeks' time.

I read comments on your video yesterday, there were a few people saying they could not see the link for the conference; I advised them to look on your blog. I am unable to attend, having made other arrangements, I am sure it will be good, and hope there will be another in future.

    Try to put a link to the conference on your home page if possible?
    It could be an article that you delete every time it gets to the second page if altering the template is too difficult.

I wish you and the team well with this exciting venture and likewise, all attending.
But
I have caring responsibilities so cannot be away from home for an extended period. Is there any plan to video the sessions (including Qs+As). I do hope so.
