Traditional political parties are beset by a host of challenges to their dominance, while new technology provides the promise of new means for citizens to get involved in politics. When these trends collide, what does it mean for the future of parties and the future of political participation? A panel discussion with:

• Professor Pepper Culpepper, Professor of Politics and Public Policy, Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford
• Professor Jane Green, Professor of Political Science and British Politics, University of Oxford
• Miguel Lago, Co-Founder and President of Meu Rio
• Benjamin Snow, CEO, Civocracy

In an increasingly unstable global political climate, governments around the world face greater challenges than ever. This year, the Challenges of Government Conference looks at the 'Future of Government', analysing how technological changes, new kinds of politics and different approaches to addressing inequality can be harnessed for the public good.

The Challenges of Government Conference is the Blavatnik School's annual flagship event, which brings together the brightest minds in government, the private sector and academia to discuss policies, strategies and solutions to the world’s public policy challenges.
