Our Events

Events

There are events taking place nearly every day that are run by and for co‑operatives.  That is why we have developed our events diary.

On this page you will find details of those events that are organised by Co‑operativesUK. Our programme of events has been developed to support different sectors of our membership. Some events aim to provide specialist knowledge and networking opportunities whilst other aim to showcase co‑operatives and co‑operation.
