The  core membership programme focuses on a range of key current or strategic issues and features some 20-plus meetings per year on topics chosen by members. Our events are informal and interactive, and adhere to the Chatham House rule.The majority  are held in Central London sponsored and hosted by members. Attendance is by invitation-only to members and guests. Attendees are predominantly business professionals who bring their own current and practical views and information.

Discussions  are led by top-level policy  makers and influencers including government and shadow government ministers, heads of regulatory agencies and, sometimes, leading commentators, academics or authors. They provide the opportunity to explore issues from a broad perspective and also to raise detailed points that may be crucial to the successful implementation of policy.

The Industry Forum also works with other think tanks, research organisations and consultancies on meetings and research projects of relevance to our membership.
