2027 Multiple Disadvantage Summit
We’re pleased to announce that tickets for 2027’s Multiple Disadvantage Summit are now on sale. We’re returning to last year’s venue in Birmingham City Centre.
Our theme this year is: Balancing Act: Aligning strategy, hope and complex realities
Local areas are being pulled in so many directions, with local priorities, national initiatives and increasing demands. How do we reconcile the need for a compelling vision for the future alongside the challenge of meeting immediate need? How do we think long-term when funding cycles are short and uncertain? How do we invest the time needed for meaningful coproduction, when we are forced to work at such pace? And, most importantly, how do we balance all of these things at once?
Join colleagues from across the country at 2027’s National Multiple Disadvantage Summit for a day of learning and reflecting. We’ll look at how we can keep the focus on multiple disadvantage amidst new initiatives, keep diverse partnerships engaged and ensure that lived experience remains prominent across all conversations.
