Over the last month, Jim, Emily and Henry have been in the UK attending conferences, chatting with the media, and doing trainings to get the Brits ready for elections in the spring. 

Henry made new friends at the Trade Union Congress in Bournemouth, Emily trained folks at the Liberal Democrat Conference in Glasgow and at the Labour Conference in Brighton. The tour ended with the the Conservative Party Conference, a four day event in Manchester.

After trying to get to London without a valid passport, Jim appeared on the BBC's Daily Politics. He spoke with Andrew Neil about how political parties in the UK are harnessing the power of social media and storytelling to organize campaigns from the ground up, building communities online to mobilize for offline organizing. Check out the clip:

During his two day endurance test of a visit, Jim also kicked up a few other stories: 

Anoosh Chakelian of Total Politics sat down with Jim and discussed NationBuilder as the geeky tech dream for political parties across the UK, the future of online organizing, and our training sessions at the conferences. 

The Telegraph's Willard Foxton elaborated on NationBuilder's presence at the political conferences and warned the Tories that their hesitation of technology for organizing voter contact could cost them the election.

Finally, Jim Pickard, of the Financial Times spoke to NationBuilder customers to hear how Lib Dems and the Scottish National Party are utilizing field tools such as turf cutting and list building for organizing. 

We're excited to have been a part of the 2013 UK political conference season and are looking forward to the accomplishments coming from across the pond.
