Green Party Autumn Conference

I'm off to the autumn Green Party conference, from tomorrow afternoon onwards. It'll continue to Monday, but I'm returning to Coventry on Sunday night.

It's being held at SOAS in London (near Russell Square tube). Non-members can attend as observers, on a day by day basis, so feel free to come along!

It's historic, since (for better or worse, for richer or poorer) we will be electing our first leader/deputy leader team (for a 2-year term). This replaces the practice of having a male and female "principal speaker" who were elected for one-year terms. The "leader announcement" will be Friday evening at 520pm, and the new leader will give a keynote on Saturday early afternoon.

You can keep track of blogging activity at Green Despatches during the conference.

You can find some more information here. You can read also the timetable (what fringe meetings are happening where) here.
