It is that time of year again when we start to prepare for our yearly convention.

We want a truly co-produced event, and to do this we would like to invite you to send us an expression of interest to join our steering group.

You will work alongside our Community Map Members, Strategic Advisors, Partners and the Peoples Powerhouse Team to answer these questions:

How do we engage the Mayors in meaningful activity at the festival? 
How do we ensure the festival is truly diverse? 
Shape the theme of the event – we have a starter for ten.
Discussion around the schedule, developing the agenda, identifying potential speakers, sponsors and other fun things for the event.  

There will be 4 online sessions (24^th Aug, 19^th Sep, 19^th Oct and 2^nd Nov) and we will decide on a time that suits us once we have got everyone on board.

If you are interested in taking part please send us an email, telling us in brief why you want to make this years convention the best for people in the North before 4pm on Friday 9^th August. Email linzi@peoplespowerhouse.org.uk

If you are unable to take part but would still like to contribute, please send me your thoughts again no later than 4pm on Friday 11^th Aug.
