Conference Directory published – fringes, training, exhibition

By | Sat 22nd August 2020 - 10:40 am

A couple of weeks ago the Agenda for the online Autumn Conference was issued. That has now been joined by its companion publication, the Directory.

While the Agenda contains the timetable for all the formal sessions in the Main Hall – policy debates, speeches etc – the Directory lists all the other fun things you can do over the Conference weekend. You can read and download the Directory here.

So what is on offer?

Fringe meetings

  • Dozens of meetings organised by Lib Dem and external organisations, most with key speakers.
  • Watch out for the Comedy Night
  • We understand that information about Glee Club will follow.

Training sessions

  • On a wide variety of topics including pastoral care, being an effective agent, councillor or campaigner, using tools such as Lighthouse, Connect and Affinity, and, of course, winning elections.

Campaign surgeries

  • 30 minutes free consultancy on a range of campaigning techniques

The exhibition

  • Meet reps from Lib Dem organisations

Helpdesks

  • Federal Board
  • Federal Conference Committee
  • Technical

Do check the timings because some of them are different from what we expect at a physical Conference.

The Conference app will also be available in September.

If you haven’t done so already you can register for Conference here.
