This weekend the Liberal Democrat Federal Conference gets underway in Brighton, running from Saturday 17th to Tuesday 20th September at the Brighton Centre.

It promises to be a busy and exciting event, with plenty of policy motions, fringe meetings and training sessions on offer.

On Saturday, highlights from the main hall include Safe and Free (liberty and security policy paper), An End to Homelessness policy motion, consultative sessions on nuclear weapons and sex work and a policy motion on adopting Pre-exposure Prophylaxis.

Sunday sees policy motions on Combatting Racism, UK and European Collaborative Research and Erasmus, Restoring Access to Justice and the Campaign to Save Parent Governors. On Monday there are policy motions on Europe, the Green Economy, and Mending the Net (a social security policy paper).

The final day of conference features a motion on Future Transport and speeches from party President Sal Brinton and the Leader of the Liberal Democrats, Tim Farron.

Don’t worry if you can’t make it to conference this year – you can keep up with all the news on twitter using the hashtag #ldconf. You can also watch coverage at home on BBC Parliament, starting Monday at 9:00am.
