Conservatives gear up for member-focused CPC26 conference in Birmingham
John Belsey announced that final preparations are underway for the Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham, with a strong emphasis on member participation and new programme elements.
John Belsey confirmed that the Conservative Party is completing the last stage of logistics for the CPC26 conference in Birmingham, with security fences, marquees and fresh branding already in place. The accreditation desk is ready to issue passes as member registrations outpace last year, driven by a rise in Young Conservative sign-ups and a persistent waitlist for the Your Voice for Small Business Day. Highlights this year feature a members’ lounge at the Castle Lane Conservative Club, hosting debates, training from the Campaign Academy and Leadership Institute, and a backbench bill-off showcasing policy ideas.
An exhibition will showcase the 27-metre Birmingham Tapestry, a Labour-government critique, alongside indoor and outdoor exhibits. The programme also includes expanded networking opportunities, live music, food stalls, a silent disco, a street party and other social events designed to boost member engagement.
