]]>The conference aims to:
What to expect:
Organic Matters will be hosting 150 delegates from organic and regenerative horticulture. They will facilitate the exchange of technical knowledge through an exciting programme of speaker sessions (8 in total). There will be plenty of opportunities for networking between delegates and speakers. The sessions will be recorded and available after the event for those who cannot attend. They are hoping to establish the conference as an annual event which will grow over the coming years. Expect technical sessions covering themes such as soil health, pest & disease management, plant science, mentoring and work efficiency.
Why a conference?
OGA has been struck by the lack of opportunities for growers to share technical information and advice and believes that Organic Matters will fill a vital gap in UK organic horticulture.
At this years Oxford Real Farming Conference, OGA hosted two sessions on technical aspects of horticulture, one on tool design and adaptation and another on minimum tillage mulching systems (video here: https://bit.ly/2E7VT00). Both sessions were extremely successful and well-attended and convinced the OGA of the need for a stand-alone conference specifically focussed on horticulture.

Back in 2014 the LGBT Chief Executives Network, facilitated by LGBT Consortium, produced a national LGBT manifesto and a Trans manifesto was developed by an alliance of Trans organisations (see links below).
Leading on from this pioneering work by the LGBT Consortium and inspired by the work locally on the Race and Women’s Manifestos. The LGBT Communities of the West of England are working on an LGBT Manifesto for this region.
The Initiative is being hosted by Bristol City Council and the main public development day will be held on 23th February 2016 as part of LGBT History Month.

The World is Listening present this discussion on women in music
The World is Listening continue their quest to celebrate and represent women in music, and sparking the conversation about the cause and effect of the gender gap in the music industry.
They bring their second public discussion in Bristol to Fyfe Hall, upstairs in the Trinity Centre, debating the topic 'Female is not a genre', lead by 3 excellent guest speakers and our host, TWIL co-founder, Emma Hooper. The talk will be followed by an open forum where you can ask questions of our panel.
Expect a hands on discussion looking at the culture of musicians being labelled 'female' ('female drummer', 'female singer', 'female songwriter), the sexism behind the craze (as Caitlin Moran says, to figure out if some sexism is happening at you, ask if the same applies to men), and also the benefit, need or desire to identify as female in the music industry, or just, as a human.
