The Centre for Policy Studies will hold two events at the Conservative Party Conference 2017. CapX, owned and produced by the Centre for Policy Studies, will also be hosting an event.
All 3 events will be held in the Pankhurst Suite at the Radisson Hotel, outside the secure zone, so a conference pass is not required.

CapX – In Conversation with Daniel Hannan MEP
Monday 2 October 6.00 – 7.15pm
Robert Colvile, Editor of CapX, meets Daniel Hannan MEP to talk about Brexit, Britain’s future, and why free trade matters so much.
Gigabit Britain – for the many, not the few
Tuesday 3 October, 1.30 – 2.30pm
High-speed fibre broadband infrastructure is crucial to the UK’s success so can it be right that while 80% of homes in Latvia have fibre straight to their premises, only 2% of UK households can say the same? If we don’t get the investment we need in full fibre broadband, we risk falling further behind at this critical time for our economy. What can Government do to build the Gigabit Britain that families, communities, and business across the country need?
Panel: Mark Collins – Director of Strategy, City Fibre, Paul Morris – Head of Government Affairs, Vodafone, Sarah Lee – Head of Policy, Countryside Alliance, Damian Collins MP – Chair of the DCMS Select Committee
Chair: Tim Knox – CPS Director
