With supporting and connecting the movement in Leeds as our new(ish) mission, we organised our 2012 annual conference to the theme Crisis Opportunity. There was a total of 13 workshops, 22 contributors and 86 participants on the day. A focus of the event was to determine what Leeds wanted to do when the UK hosted the G8 summit in June 2013. With new relationships formed at the event, we formed an action group who collaboratively made plans to campaigning together around the G8.
