AI & Campaigning Conference

​A one-day conference convening the people building, deploying and funding the most interesting applications of AI in campaigning today.

​Persuasion bots are being tested on real voters. Synthetic focus groups are shaping campaign strategy. Caseworker bots are clearing MPs' inboxes overnight. Social listening tools are seeing patterns the public can't. Agents are quietly running parts of campaigns. The pace of change is real, but the people doing the work are scattered across campaigns, unions, agencies, academia and tech, and most of them have never been in the same room.

​This conference puts them there for a day, with the tools, in front of an audience that can actually use what they're building. The day is concrete by design: working demos you can try yourself, candid panels under Chatham House where it matters, and time for discussions over drinks that the agenda doesn't cover.

​We're structuring the day around the questions the field is actively wrestling with:

• ​Can AI mimic voters well enough to replace asking them?

• ​Does AI persuasion work in the wild and would you use it?

• ​What are social listening tools seeing that the public isn't?

• ​Can AI predict elections, or just fit the last one?

• ​Which campaign and constituency workflows are ready to hand to a bot, and which absolutely aren't?

• ​Where in the content pipeline does human judgment still have to sit?

• ​Agents: working tools or demo-ware?

​For progressive campaigners, technologists, funders and academics working in or near the field.
