IfG Events

Booking Overview

This is a UK government and public-policy event podcast featuring expert panels with politicians, academics, civil servants, think-tank leaders, journalists and industry specialists. A PR agency could credibly pitch senior policy experts, public officials, researchers and business leaders with direct expertise in government reform, public services, economics, technology policy or devolution; booking is likely high-difficulty because participation is selective and subject-led.
