Party conference season, which this year stretches from Reform UK’s opener on 3 September to the end of SNP’s on 17 October, is the public affairs version of Christmas.
It presents a unique opportunity to meet stakeholders, influence policymakers, achieve some measurable KPIs, and catch up with colleagues that in many cases have not been seen since last conference season.
As Helio has done for decades (previously as DeHavilland and Forefront), we will once again be covering the conferences for clients, ensuring all the announcements, policy updates and U-turns are captured, alongside the context of each conference.
Our team of in-house policy experts will be at the conferences, across the fringe and throughout the exhibitions to determine how each party’s members are receiving the conference, what the atmosphere is like formally and informally, and what each party’s momentum tells us about their future.
They will be on the ground at:
- Reform UK, 3-5 September
- Liberal Democrat, 19-22 September
- Labour, 27-30 September
- Plaid Cymru, 2-3 October
- Green, 2-4 October
- Conservative, 4-6 October
- SNP, 15-17 October
While clients receive coverage from each conference and individual fringe events as standard, anyone can sign up to receive daily summaries of each conference and the key points covered, which are otherwise only available to in-person attendees.
Sign up to receive the daily coverage. We look forward to meeting industry colleagues both old and new this conference season. See you there!
