On Monday March 30th, the editorial team will be attending two different meet the editors events:

• Political Studies Association Annual Conference in Sheffield (the meet the editors event will be at lunchtime – see your programs for more details)
• British International Studies Association Postgraduate Network Conference at Kings College London.

Several articles published in Politics have begin life at meet the editors events.
