Blackpool has been chosen to host Labour North West’s 2011 Regional Conference this Autumn.
Labour event organisers are predicting it will be their biggest regional conference ever with up to 1,000 delegates expected to attend.
Leading Labour politicians, MPs, celebrities and exhibitors will join party members to discuss how Labour can work best for the North West in these tough times.
The Conference will be held at the Imperial Hotel from November 4 – 6, with the Winter Gardens holding a gala dinner.
Louise Baldock, chair of Labour North West's Regional Board, said:
"We’re delighted to be taking our regional conference to Blackpool.
"Blackpool will provide an excellent venue for senior politicians and Party members to shape Labour’s solutions to the challenges facing the North West.
“1,000 new members per month have joined the Labour Party in the North West since last May’s General Election.
“Our weekend conference in Blackpool will provide an ideal opportunity for many to attend their first Party event while providing a welcome boost to the resort’s hotels and businesses.
“We have had many happy conferences in the past in Blackpool and it’s exciting to be coming back with both old friends and a new generation of members.”
Mandy Tythe-McCallum, Business Tourism Manager for visitBlackpool, added:
“Blackpool’s efforts to regain its position as one of the UK’s top destinations for political conferences has been handed a welcome boost with this news.
“It’s great that we are back on the political conference map and that our strategy to try and secure both new and lapsed events is starting to have a real impact.”
