Roots & Branches: Unions and Communities in Common Struggle

The growth of the far-right , and intensification of racism in our communities and workplaces, can only be challenged by common struggle.

This year, NOC is focusing on strengthening collaborations between unions and communities to build collective power.

We will be focusing on organising against the far right and challenging racism, particularly organising that involves both labour organising and community organising.  

Check out our programme below!

Key Information:

NOC26 will take place August 28-30th, at Liverpool Hope University

Deadlines:

Book early! It’s very hard to guarantee that everyone gets a bed if most people book at the last minute. To encourage early booking, all prices will go up by 5% after July 5th.

The absolute deadline for booking residential places is July 19th. 

Ticket Types:

We want NOC to be accessible to everyone. We recognise the collective power of working people even with the cost of living at an all time high. We especially want to include those on low incomes, and those from marginalised backgrounds. So we strongly encourage you to show solidarity by paying as much as you can, to enable us to offer free and heavily subsidised places. There is guidance on this on the ticketing page.

If you need a heavily subsidised or free place please email info@neworganisingconference.com explaining your situation.

Group discounts:

Group Tickets:  We offer the following reductions (on the standard price) for group bookings:

  • 10% for groups of 5 from the same Union Branch.

  • 15% for groups of 10 from the same organisation/Union

  • 25% for groups of 20+ booked together

If you would like to book a group ticket, please email us.

About the programme:

NOC is organised by and for organisers. The strength of the conference comes from sessions rooted in real struggles — in workplaces, neighbourhoods, campaigns and movements — and from people willing to share what they’ve learned. From hands-on skill-sharing to deep political reflection, the sessions at NOC are what make the conference truly ours

Call for Sessions:

The open call for sessions is now closed. However, if you would still like to propose a session, please email Carolyn Hayman with your session title, short description and the name of the session leader.

Sessions at NOC this year will cover:

  • Stories of labour organising - both within & beyond the workplace

  • Practical sessions on organising techniques and skills

  • Trade unions and community groups working together

  • Migrant worker organising, across sectors and borders

  • Organising in the gig economy and other precarious forms of work

  • Building alliances between organisers, movements and left media

  • Countering fear, isolation, burnout & uncertainty

  • Navigating conflict, division and fragmentation
