Will you join us in Brighton this weekend?

This year at Conference we’re going to be running more events than we’ve done before – including our first ever  conference rally (with a special guest speaker joining a host of top  Labour voices). Our popular conference karaoke returns – with a few politicians no doubt joining party activists to hammer out  the hits until the early hours – and we’ll also be covering some of the big debates in the Labour movement including housing, party selections, class and racism, through the prism of football.

We hope that you’ll join us for what promises to be an enjoyable set of  events at Conference. Below – in chronological  order – are the events we’re running. We hope we’ll see you there – and  if you can’t make it to Brighton this year, stay tuned to LabourList –  we’ll be providing you with constant coverage of the conference from  start to finish.
