MMT FORUM 2026
Description
A one-day gathering for MMT academics, activists and campaigners, organised by:
Amazing work is happening across the UK. There are scores of fantastic MMT papers, posts and insights. An MMT community is forming, and MMT FORUM brings it together into one room.
The day opens with a welcome from leading MMT figures and a quick-fire look at the UK's MMT ecosystem. Twelve presentations follow, selected through an open call for papers, covering:
institutional reform
inequality and austerity
climate breakdown
food and energy resilience
After the keynote, we'll close the day by shaping a joint communications strategy for the movement in 2027, building on ideas gathered throughout the day.
All presentations will be filmed and shared afterwards.
Places are limited.
Stay on for drinks from 18:00, followed by Pintonomics from 19:00 (booked separately).
