<h2>What is this year's conference about?</h2><p>Grassroots movements have long been the driving force behind some of the world's most significant social, economic, and political changes. These movements are often born out of a desire to challenge the status quo and bring about positive change in their communities. </p><p>This conference will connect different national and international grassroots campaigners to build strength from solidarity. Our goal is to create a space where individuals and organisations can come together to share their motivations for doing advocacy, support each other in improving the sustainability and quality of their campaigning, and develop new skills to become more effective campaigners.</p><p></p><h2>W﻿ho is this event for?</h2><p>Anyone with an interest in standing up  for a fairer world is welcome: whether you campaign on local, national or international issues, whether you already advocate for a particular cause or are still looking for a movement to join, whether you are only just starting out as an advocate or you have been campaigning with RESULTS for a long time.</p><p>If you are not familiar with RESULTS, you can hear more in our welcoming session on Saturday morning. There will also be a chance throughout the conference to speak to the Campaigns team and ask any questions.
