Grassroots Conference
The European Movement UK organises an annual conference for our local groups. The event, which takes place in a hybrid format, is designed to empower and engage with our local groups through a series of speeches, panel discussions, and workshops.
The first conference took place in London in 2023 and saw activists come together for a day of speeches and workshops. The second conference took place in Sheffield with a range of speeches, workshops, and strategy sessions.
The 2025 Grassroots Conference took place in Central London and was the biggest edition to date, with hundreds of people tuning in - both online and in person.
