Saturday 14 June 2008 is the date for the second national Liberal Democrat Local Government Conference at Birmingham’s International Convention Centre (ICC). The event, which is jointly organised by ALDC and the Local Government Associaiton Lib Dem Group, builds on the success of the first conference in 2007 which saw over 370 Liberal Democrats involved in local government came together for a highly succesful one day event.
The 2008 conference will see an even bigger programme of debate, training, exchange of ideas and high profile speakers form across the Party. Speakers include Shadow Local Government minister Julia Goldsworthy, Shadow Home Secretary Chris Huhne MP and local elections campaign chair Andrew Stunell MP . Training includes campaign training from ALDC and Campaigns Department staff, and training on councillor skills from ALDC and partner agencies.
Registrations are now open – click here to register online. Registration for the one day event starts at £30 for ALDC Gold Members - but it pays to register early as rates rise at the end of March.
A programme of activities is also planned for the Friday 13th in Birmingham before the Conference proper. This includes a Council and Group leaders event, and a one day conference for Black and Minority Ethnic councillors.

Federal Party Spring Conference this year takes place 7-9 March 2008 in Liverpool. ALDC has a packed programme of training and fringe debate. Following on from our successful Councillor Skills Training Day, a full day of training is available for Lib Dem Councillors, and a parallel programme is available for campaign skills.
Fringe events include “Save our Post Offices” with Sarah Teather MP, “Food Miles” with Tim Farron MP (with kind support from Waitrose) and a Local Elections 2008 Briefing with Andrew Stunell MP and Hilary Stephenson.
Once again the IDeA will be joining us on our stand (Stand 5). ALDC and IDeA staff will be available give advice and information throughout the weekend.
More information in the Local Government Directory, available here.
Why not Stay on Sunday in Liverpool for a couple of hours after the conference finishes. Liverpool is the largest Lib Dem run council in the country – help keep it that way by joining ALDC and the Liverpool team leafleting in target wards on Sunday afternoon.
