Enlightenment Evening: Selecting The Best

​Join us for another Enlightenment Evening on Monday, 14th October.

​We’ll be discussing our recently released paper Selecting the Best: Building a Future-Focused Immigration System.

​Migration to the UK has skyrocketed since 1997, propping up a low wage, low productivity, low growth economy. Whilst gross GDP has been artificially inflated by a larger population, GDP per capita and productivity rates have stagnated.

​Come and hear how we can create a sustainable migration system which promotes global talent, ends low wage dependency and supports automation.

​We’re delighted to be hosting our panellists Dr. Madeleine Sumption (Director of the Migration Observatory), Tom Jones (paper co-author and Conservative councillor), Katie Lam MP (Conservative MP for the Weald of Kent), Sunder Katwala (Director of British Future) and Sam Bidwell (Director of our Next Generation Centre).

​​This event will be live-streamed on X, and later uploaded to YouTube for those of you who cannot attend in person.

​​Doors open at 6pm for a sharp 6.30pm start. 20-minute panel discussion followed by 10–15 minutes of Q&A.
