What does it take to govern in the turbulent 20s?
Every October, the people who lead, shape and challenge government spend one day in the heart of Westminster asking the questions that don't get asked anywhere else. Apolitical Day is an annual invitation-only gathering that puts aside politics and brings together a carefully curated group of the world’s most influential leaders – those running, shaping and challenging government – for a day of unfiltered conversation about the future of government in an era of radical uncertainty.
The sessions are short and sharp, the debate is fiery, the roundtables are closed-door and the voices on stage are among the most consequential in government, technology and policy. Perhaps most importantly, the people in the room are the ones with the power to act on what they hear.
20 October 2026 · 9am–5pm BST · Church House Westminster
