What is a panel? what is a fringe?
- Plenaries – where we debate and vote on motions and reports in the agenda.
- Workshops – sessions where the detail of motions can be gone over prior to plenary debate. These are held as online evening meetings in the week before conference.
- Fringes – sessions of general interest to the membership, not directly linked to policy-making. These can be led by members, staff, or external organisations.
- Panels – topical discussions with invited external speakers, hosted by elected reps or party spokespeople.
- Hustings – where you can find out more about the candidates in committee elections
- Training – skill learning sessions open to all members, activists and officers
- Meetings – of Policy Working Groups, Special Interest Groups, other groups
Call for Chairs
We are always looking for members who are interested in acting as workshop reporters and facilitators, plenary chairs/co-chairs/assistants. The aim is to create a strong and diverse pool of volunteers who will be offered a clear pathway to plenary chairing with support, training, and sharing of best practice.
