The Living Black at University Commission is hosting its third conference at the University of Leeds on Friday 20th March 2026.

There are only 120 spaces available – so, to make sure as many organisations can engage with this work as possible, organisations are initially limited to three places each. But don’t worry! If you can’t make it, we’ll be sharing a write-up and resources after the event.
