Party conference season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United Kingdom the party conference season refers to the period of three weeks in September and October of each year which contains the annual political party conferences. They typically take place in seaside resorts, such as Blackpool, Brighton, and Bournemouth although in a break with tradition the 2006 Labour Party Conference will be held in Manchester.
- Liberal Democrat Federal Conference
- Labour Party Conference

The Trades Union Congress conference also takes place around this time.
The conferences take place before the end of the summer recess.
In 2006 these were as follows
- Labour- last week of September, in Manchester
- Conservatives - first week of October, in Bournemouth
- Liberal Democrats - third week of September, in Brighton
