When and where is the next Labour Party Annual Conference?

Annual Conference 2026 will take place in Liverpool from Sunday 27 September to Wednesday 30 September. The Annual Conference venues are the Convention Centre at the Liverpool Experience Campus, Exhibition Centre at the Liverpool Experience Campus and the Pullman Hotel.

 

What happens after I’ve applied?

Once your application is submitted, and paid for, we will commence a series of internal and external security vetting checks, in place to ensure our attendees have a safe and enjoyable time with us. You will receive e-mail confirmation that your application has been received, and a VAT receipt can be provided.

Following this, we will inform you ahead of the Annual Conference that your application has successfully passed our checks, or we will contact you if additional information is required.

If our checks indicate that your application cannot be processed, we will inform you ahead of Annual Conference and provide you with a full refund.

 

I have been to Conference before, do I need to apply again?

Anyone wishing to attend Annual Conference, whether or not they have been before, must apply. This ensures that we have the most up to date information for you and should help with the application process.

 

Do you really need a passport photograph for my registration?

All applications must include an up to date passport style photograph of yourself – the guidelines for photographs are outlined on the application forms. This is a security requirement.

 

Can I fax my application form to you?

We do not accept faxed versions of application forms as we require an original colour passport photograph of you for your conference pass.

 

Can I be invoiced for my application?

We offer an invoicing service for select applications. This option will be visible on the payment page if it is available for your particular pass type.

 

What happens next?

Your application will go through a series of security checks.
If your application is successful, we will inform you by email that your credential will be dispatched via post. Credentials are dispatched from the beginning of September. If your application is late, your credential may have to be collected from the conference team on site. We will inform you if this is the case.
If we have any queries with your application, we will contact you directly.

 

Will I receive a receipt for my application payment?

If you have paid online, you will be able to download a receipt on your confirmation email. Alternatively, please contact the Conference Team on 0345 092 3311 or [email protected]

 

Can I upgrade my pass or add additional days?

In most cases, you can upgrade your pass at any time prior to your pass being dispatched. Please contact the Conference Team on 0345 092 3311 or email [email protected] and we will be able to advise you further.
If you receive your pass in the post before you upgrade, you will need to visit the conference team on site. We are unable to downgrade any passes; please ensure you choose the correct pass when applying.

 

My application arrived after the deadline, can the late fee be waived?

Deadlines are in place to give us adequate time to process your application.
All deadlines and price increases are strictly adhered to and cannot be waived.

 

I have submitted my application and have now changed some of my details, who do I contact?

You must contact the Conference Team as soon as possible on 0345 092 3311 or [email protected] and we will update your contact details.
You may need to collect a replacement pass from the Conference Team onsite if your pass has already been printed and dispatched.

 

I am speaking/working at a fringe event – how do I get access to the event?

Anyone speaking at a fringe event inside the conference zone must have a valid credential.
Please contact the organisation holding the fringe event and they will advise you on how to apply.
If the fringe event you are attending is outside the conference zone no credential is required.

 

Who can apply as a third sector visitor?

Third sector visitor passes are only available to registered charities and not-for-profit organisations.

 

Can I see what’s on at Annual Conference?

In late August we publish the Annual Conference timetable online. This allows you to see what fringe events and plenary sessions are taking place.
You can also download the free Conference App, which allows you to save a diary of speeches and events you wish to attend, as well as get information about the exhibition.

 

What to bring?

Whether you’re coming for one day, or for the full week, here are a few things you’ll want to bring to Annual Conference:

Your pass – Your pass is required to allow you access to Annual Conference. You won’t be able to access the secure site without it. This will be posted to you prior to Annual Conference and it is essential you bring it with you. If you do lose or forget your pass, you can pick up a replacement from the Conference Team for a fee.

The app – Available for Android and iPhone, the free Conference app allows you to ‘favourite’ events and get important notifications, so you can build your own schedule for Conference. It also lets you keep up with events in the main hall via the Labour Party YouTube channel.

Comfortable shoes – If you’re exploring the city, or just navigating the events, you’ll be surprised how many steps you’ll do over the week!

Notepad and pen – You might want to take notes in main hall or at a fringe event or even write a list of events to attend. You won’t want to be caught without one!

 

Can I have someone from my team or organisation pick my pass up for me at Conference Services onsite?

If someone else will be collecting your pass on your behalf, you must notify the Conference Services team by emailing [email protected] and providing the name of the person who will be collecting it.

 

I have been a Labour Party Member for years but have had a temporary lapse in membership for a few months, can I still go to Conference?

In order to attend Conference as a member you must have 12 months continuous membership and must have been a member since 26 July 2025. If you believe there is an error in your membership record please contact the membership team by email at [email protected] or by phone at 0345 092 2299. The Conference team is unable to amend membership records.

 

I have booked an external venue for my fringe event but would still like to advertise my event on the Conference magazine and app, can I do this?

Yes, we offer listings in the Conference Magazine and/or App for external fringe events. Further details will be available in due course.

 

I have accessibility requirements and need support to attend, who should I contact for support?
