Eastbourne Conference

The Debate Continues

Each year we organise a weekend debating conference in the seaside resort of Eastbourne. The supporting societies are:
 
  • Great Debaters Club
  • Cities of London and Westminster Society of Cogers
  • Ware Society of Cogers
  • Sylvan Debating Society

Partners, friends, and anyone with an interest in forming and expressing opinions are also welcome to join us.

The conference commences on Friday evening and ends on Sunday lunchtime. It is held at a hotel in Eastbourne.

The Purpose

The conference has the following aims:
 
  • To provide an enjoyable occasion that will nurture understanding, co-operation and friendship
  • To provide workshops to improve individual skills
  • To rekindle enthusiasm for public-speaking and debate

Final details of the programme are still under consideration.
