Yes, the programme will be published in due course.

All who are part of the workplace & social justice movement are invited. This includes unions, grassroots groups, community organisers, campaigners, journalists, academics and anyone who affiliates themselves with the struggle for a free & just world.

The NOC brings together a wide range of people. We believe that new ideas and projects come forth from conversations and interaction of groups that share a common vision.

Tickets will be released in early 2026.

Tickets are based on how long people will join us for and are priced on a sliding scale. If your organisation pays for them it’s based on its size and access to resources.

The conference only works if people are willing to pay according to their financial position. To make the conference financially accessible for everyone we ask people to pay as much as they comfortably can. There will be more guidance on the payment page.

We have funding to supply people who need a free ticket. In some cases we can also cover travel expenses.

NOC is currently funded by a mixture of ticket sales and grant funding. We are working hard to prepare for the end of our funding in 2027. Ticket sales are essential for the long term future of the Conference.

If you want to stay on site we will book your room for you. Alternatively, you can pay a day rate and stay offsite.

All accommodation is in single rooms, adjacent to the venue. Please send us an email if you have any accommodation requests.

You can choose four sessions on Saturday and two on Sunday. You don’t need to pre-book sessions but it’s possible that for some sessions, rooms will reach capacity.

There is also ample time to meet new people and strengthen connections.

Yes, there are day tickets available.

However, we do encourage people to join for the full conference if they are able to make the most of it”

If you’re running a session, we’ll be supporting you to our best ability. You don’t need to be a professiona trainer to run a session - we want everyone to be able to give it a go!

Session trainers are attendees like everyone else, and we will all be students & teachers in different ways. We encourage those delivering a session to stay for the whole conference.

If childcare is a barrier for you to attend this conference, and on-site childcare would take that barrier away, please contact us.
