Co-Host a Breakout Session

Breakout Sessions are an exciting new addition to the conference. Each will be jointly hosted by the Welsh Liberal Democrats and partner organisations like yours. These sessions cover a variety of topics, ranging from policy development to internal party discussions, offering an excellent opportunity for internal party groups, as well as campaigning and public affairs organisations, to collaborate as co-hosts.

What to Expect

Choose from the following breakout sessions to co-host:

Candidate and Observer Speed Dating - Conference observers get to present their key “ask” in brief conversions with party members applying to become Senedd candidates.
Councillors Forum - A platform for councillors to meet with the party leadership and prospective candidates to discuss the pressing challenges councils across Wales are facing.
Young People's Forum - A space for Welsh Young Liberals to engage with the party leadership and potential candidates on issues that matter to young people.
Senedd Election Campaign Briefing - An exclusive briefing for party members on the Senedd election strategy. Note: Co-hosting this session is open to internal party organisations only due to its confidential nature.
Local Party Forum - A chance for members of Local Party Executives meet with the Welsh Liberal Democrats' Officer team to address challenges. Note: Co-hosting this session is also limited to internal party organisations.

Breakout session rooms accommodate at least 30 attendees and are located within the conference venue, making it easy for members to participate.

Each session lasts for one hour, with time slots available on Saturday and Sunday, including breakfast sessions, lunchtimes, and slots after the conference wraps up on Saturday. We’ll guide you on selecting the most suitable time when you enquire.
