Registration open for Conference – with new Day Passes

By Mary Reid | Fri 16th May 2025 - 2:42 pm

Registration has now opened for the Autumn Federal Conference which will be held in Bournemouth from 20th to 23rd September.

As usual Early Bird registration rates are available until 12th June. You can find all the categories and prices here.

There is one change this time which will benefit members who are unable to attend for the whole conference. A Day Pass will now entitle the member to vote and speak in debates. In the past Day Visitors were not allowed to vote, which always surprised me. Mind you, Day Passes are not cheap at £60, and you can only book one. If you want to attend for 2 or 3 days out of the four you should book a Weekend or a Full Pass.

Here are the deadlines for submitting motions for debate.

Drafting advice: 13:00, 11/06/2025

Motion deadline: 13:00, 25/06/2025

Drafting advice (amendments, emergency motions): 13:00, 26/08/25

Amendments, emergency motions, topical issues, questions deadline: 13:00, 08/09/25
