First timer or regular, regional conference has something for everyone.
Autumn 2021 Conference
Due to the ongoing pandemic situation, our Autumn 2021 conference may be held online or in-person. We are working to build a mixed conference using both formats.

Awards
We will welcome nominations for the annual President's Awards recognising long service to the party.
These are presented each Autumn North West Conference by the regional president; our regional president since January 1 2021 is Jackie Pearcey.
We will also be introducing a new award recognising a grassroots / community based issue campaign. This will be named in memory of veteran North West campaigner Tony Greaves, who passed away earlier this year.
The nomination paperwork for the regional awards is here: note the nominations deadline is 10th September 2021.
