What if Transition groups could scale up their impact? What if you had unbounded people power, time and funding to pursue your vision? What could it unleash? Join us to explore where change is already unfolding, building alternative systems for our future, and giving us a tantalising glimpse of what could be. Stories of small seeds planted by Transition groups which have grown and morphed in new ways to bring about bigger change.

We'll hear from inspiring projects and enterprises incubated in the Transition Movement:

• Josiah Meldrum of Hodmedods, incubated in Transition Norwich https://hodmedods.co.uk/
• Pete Capener from Bath and West Community Energy https://www.bwce.coop
• Samantha Woods and Taruna Mistry of Transition Leicester/Community Climate Connectors
• Craig Dunn of Scottish Communities Climate Action Network

We’re thrilled to be joined by two ‘Keynote Listeners’ to share their reflections. Nick Romeo covers policy and ideas for The New Yorker and teaches in the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California, Berkeley. He has also written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, National Geographic, Rolling Stone, The Atlantic, The MIT Technology Review, and many other venues. He’s the author “The Alternative: How to Build a Just Economy”, published in January 2024.


Anthea Lawson is a campaigner and author who has worked on campaigns to shut down tax havens, prevent banks from facilitating corruption and environmental devastation, and control the arms trade. At Global Witness, she launched a prize-winning campaign that changed the rules on secret company ownership and resulted in new laws in dozens of countries. She began her working life as a reporter at The Times newspaper. Her recent book The Entangled Activist is about why activists so often end up recreating the problems they are trying to fix, and how we might begin to look at the task of changing the world differently.
