So, if you have something relevant to submit, say so when you buy a ticket, and you may have the opportunity to make a presentation.<\/p>\n<p>The intention is to help the cross-fertilisation of ideas, build a community, advance understanding, get to know each other better, and explore how we can push MMT closer to the mainstream in this country at a time when doing so might be absolutely critical.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/events.humanitix.com\/mmt-live-2026?c=ftf2006\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Event details are available here<\/a>, and if you are on Facebook and want to share the link there,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/28761131043526284\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> the link for that is to be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for the day cost \u00a350. I understand this includes lunch and some teas and coffees, which makes it a bit of a bargain as far as I can see.<\/p>\n<p>I think this is a really significant opportunity, which is why I jumped at the chance to take part as one of the sponsoring organisations. If you have any questions, post them here, and I very strongly suspect that William will be online to help. Alternatively, if you want to email him or his team in an organisational capacity, the links are available through the pages I note above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am pleased to announce that Funding the Future is now involved in promoting another event.\u00a0 We are not the lead organisers on this occasion,<br \/><a class=\"moretag\" href=\"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/2026\/10\/15\/the-mmt-forum-2026\/\"><em> Read the full article&#8230;<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[233,174,106,223],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-96350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-modern-monetary-theory","category-politics","category-politics-of-care"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96350"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96350\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":96365,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96350\/revisions\/96365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
