Conference is often one of the first experiences a new member will have of the Party. If you're attending on your own and want to meet other conference-goers before you set off you should check out:
- Our local events calendar and meet attendees from your area for a pre-conference drink or campaigning session
- The facebook page! Many who are attending will be on there and will be very happy to help you find your feet
Otherwise we'll arrange first-timer drinks so you can meet other newcomers at the start of conference.
Don't forget your pass!
The main conference venue, the Brighton Centre, is a secure site with security on every entrance/exit.
You must wear your conference ID pass (you can collect a lanyard at the main entrance) to gain entry to the venue and at all times during the conference.
ID passes can be reissued on-site for a £25 fee, so please don't forget your pass!
