Funding the Future Conference

Join me in Cambridge on 28 February 2026 for the first Funding the Future conference built around the community we’ve created together. This event is about taking a serious look at the state of the UK economy—what has happened, why it has happened, and what must now change. I will begin the day by setting out the big picture as I see it.

I will then be joined by Clive Parry for a discussion on money, bonds and finance, and will hold questions at the end of this session.

Last, I will hold a structured Ask Me Anything session, and then if I have any breath left there will be time for conversation and connection.

This conference is designed for people who want to understand the economy better—and help shape the ideas that will define our future.

Info: Richard will introduce the day with an overview of where the economy is now, why it isn't working, how it needs to change and what the outcomes will be, touching on many familiar Funding the Future themes.

Info: A conversation with guest speaker Clive Parry discussing money, bonds and financial markets. There will be an opportunity to ask questions of both.

Info: This is a chance for attendees to ask questions of Richard. To maximise your chance of getting your question in, please send it in advance so that we can ensure a wide range of topics are discussed.
