I'm thinking of trying to put together a conference to talk about some of the ideas I write about on my Substack.
I think it'd be fun to host a day of discussions on topics like housing, infrastructure, climate, and postcodes – but with a focus on policy interventions that will work, and crucially the political strategy to make them happen. The idea is to avoid the bullshit (or keep bullshit down to manageable levels), and figure out how to actually build the future.
My thinking is that it'd be a one day event on a weekend (probably a Saturday), and it would be ultra-DIY, so don't expect anything fancy. I'd charge for tickets to cover basic costs, but my intention wouldn't be to rake in the big bucks with it. (Premium subscribers would get first dibs at tickets though.)
Oh, and it would be in London, not just because we're all out of touch, metropolitan elites, but because that would be most convenient for me.
So would it be a good idea? Fill in this form and tell me if you're interested! Answer as many or as few of the below questions as you like.
