Tickets are on sale and the Conference is CPD Certified!

Immediate release

Date: Monday 1st September

Excitingly this year’s event brings even more value to attendees as the conference has been officially CPD certified, ensuring delegates benefit not only from the high-quality content but also attendees looking to enhance their career and knowledge will now have the chance to benefit from recognised professional development.

This years conference will focus on challenging a system which has continually failed our communities. Despite decades of inquiries, damning reports and policy papers our communities remain persistently left behind and underserved, it is clear that this is an issue of systemic exclusion. This chronic exclusion and discrimination has a real material effect on the lives of community members and the opportunities that they have access to. The Traveller Movement believes it is time to act, tackle this exclusion by design and begin rebuilding trust, fairness and opportunity for Romani (Gypsy), Roma and Irish Traveller communities.

Our morning panel ask uncomfortable questions for policymakers, Why do these gaps persist, even in 2025? What structural biases remain embedded in policymaking? And what would it take to build a genuinely inclusive social justice agenda one that works for all communities, not just the most visible or politically convenient?

We invite cross-sector collaboration, fresh thinking, and accountability not blame as we work together to create solutions that work for everyone. Our workshops will bring together key experts, to discuss topics such as poverty, access to opportunities for young people, the criminalisation of our communities and building the next generation of community advocates.

Tickets can be purchased here. If your organisation is interested in having a stall at the conference, please contact officeadmin@travellermovement.org.uk.

Join us for our most exciting and innovative conference to date.

Pauline Melvin-Anderson OBE, Chair of the Traveller Movement said:
‘I’m truly excited to welcome this year’s theme: ‘Who’s Left Behind? Rebuilding Trust, Fairness and Opportunity’. It couldn’t be timelier, or more urgent. As we navigate a period of change and challenge, this conference gives us a vital opportunity to listen, learn, and work together to remove the barriers that still hold Romani (Gypsy), Roma and Irish Traveller communities back. I’m particularly pleased that the event is now CPD certified, ensuring that every attendee leaves not only inspired, but with formal recognition of their learning and development’
