Conference
Regional Conference is held twice yearly, normally in February and October.
Our Autumn 2024 Regional Conference will be in Stockport on November 23rd.
We will be central Stockport, close to Stockport train station on the West Coast Main Line, as well as the very busy 192 bus route from Manchester city centre. The venue has ample - and free - car parking too.
Held twice a year, Conference brings together members from across the North West to discuss policy, campaigning and strategy, and to hear from and quiz our leading MPs, Peers and Councillors.
