Party conference season is almost upon us, and the Guardian’s programme of events is set to focus on two important questions raised by the 2015 general election; the use and role of data and the shape of devolution.
These two topics will form the basis of the Guardian’s party conference programme in 2015, brought to you in partnership with our event sponsors the British Academy, TfL, TfGM and Atkins. These debates will feature party representatives and independent subject experts, and will be moderated by Guardian journalists.
In Brighton our Big Ideas sessions will look at data in the migration debate and transport’s role in devolution.
