The People are the Powerhouse Convention

Following the huge success the People's Powerhouse Convention in 2017, this years’ event will continue to inspire change in the North.

The mission is to bring diverse people together for meaningful dialogue and sharing, be they practitioners, policy makers, opinion formers, young people, businesses, MPs or community groups.
