NEON Summer Gathering 2026
About this Event
Our Summer Gathering is back on September 5th at the Brady Centre! Join us as we bring together organisers, campaigners, communicators, trade unionists and movement builders for a day of connection, political analysis, learning and strategy.
Through talks, workshops and discussions, we'll explore some of the biggest questions facing movements today: What political moment are we in, and how can we win within it? How can we build organisations that grow power rather than manage it? How can we embed radical principles into our organisational design? How do we make a skewed media ecosystem work for us? How is Big Tech reshaping power, and where are the opportunities to intervene? How do we challenge far-right narratives and build compelling alternatives?
Your ticket includes access to all talks, workshops and discussions throughout the day, as well as breakfast, lunch, and post-event drinks.
The Summer Gathering will start at 9.30am with optional breakfast before kicking off properly at 10.00am. The event will run until 5.30pm followed by optional drinks and mingling until 7pm.
The full programme including session details and timings will be sent to everyone who has signed up well in advance.
