In relation to a CoTech gathering, there will be a significant co-op conference/event happening in Manchester in October this year, under the ‘Ways Forward’ banner. The last such conference - the seventh in a series if I recall correctly - was in 2019 and since then the pandemic has put paid to it. These conferences aim to bring together people and organisations from across a spectrum of progressive movements and sectors of the cooperative economy.
It would be great to see lots of Cotech people and organisations involved, and if there was interest we could probably plan in sufficient time/space for a specific CoTech gathering to take place. We’re currently firming up details of the event, and will post info in this forum once we have it, but wanted to give a heads-up.
