We're plugged into loads of great events that media activists are organising, and we’ll be posting about them here. We're keen for this community to be an active one, so please reach out and get to know us!

Palantir and the UK Public Sector
The Conduit, 6 Langley St, London WC2H 9JA, London, GBThe Canary are hosting a FREE panel event in Central London at 6:30 pm on the 27 July, with all welcome to attend.
In 2023, NHS England awarded a £330 million contract to Palantir to provide a new data platform. On 3 June 2026, the cross-party House of Commons Science, Innovation and Technology Committee warned about Palantir’s increasing presence in the UK public sector. The committee called for the government to terminate NHS England’s contract with Palantir, due to the company’s support of ‘highly controversial policies and activities.'
Join us at The Conduit for a timely discussion of surveillance, spy-tech, procurement and privacy. Our guest panellists, including Amnesty International’s Hajira Maryam, Andrew Feinstein, Executive Director at Shadow World Investigations, will discuss the place of big tech in the UK public sector.
