Fringe

A dynamic line-up of fringe events at Conference sees a huge range of animated discussions taking place around the clock. Fringe gives reps the opportunity to mingle with MPs, Peers and other leading Party members, attend receptions and take part in a series of lively debates. Sometimes controversial, but never dull, there is always food for thought in the fringe programme.

Holding a fringe event

We are now taking bookings for Autumn Conference 2010 in Liverpool make sure to send an email with your event requirements (style of event, room capacity needed, preferred time and date, etc) to sian.jenkins@libdems.org.uk as soon as possible.

Useful things to know

The following timeslots are available for fringe events:

It is possible to book two or more consecutive slots for an extended event. A standard set-up/break-down of 15 minutes is available before and after the event - additional set-up time must be booked and is subject to availability.

Rooms for private, invitation-only meetings may take place outside of these hours, but cannot be advertised. If this applies to your planned event please indicate this in your email.

We always have a wide range of venues available, both in and outside the secure zone. Whether you are planning to hold a reception, theatre-style fringe or small boardroom or breakfast meeting - we hold rooms of all sizes.

Note that catering and AV equipment is not included in the room hire and must be budgeted for separately.
