An organising committee has been convened for Dundee event early next year
Organisers in Your Party have confirmed its inaugural Scottish conference will take place in Dundee early next year.
The Scottish Conference Organising Group has been formed to lead on organising and delivering a conference on 7th & 8th February 2026 at the Bonar Hall to determine the future and direction of the party.
The group, consisting of Scottish activists from across the country, is working together with the party’s national interim steering group to secure funding and operational support for the conference.
Appointments to the group came from proto-branches (interim local groups self-organised by activists) and brings together members who have come to Your Party from across the left.
At its first meeting on Sunday, the group chose Dundee to host the conference as a central location taking into account members from outwith the Central Belt. The date and venue were selected based on availability and to provide ample time for members to engage with the conference ahead of time.
Organising group member Ryan Donachie said, “A survey circulated to members before our first meeting indicated areas where members felt we could improve on the Liverpool conference, and we want to assure you all that we have taken this on board. Liverpool was an important first step in establishing Your Party, and we hope that Dundee will build upon that.
“We are very excited about the possibilities for a new left-wing party in Scotland, and the opportunities that presents. We hope to see our growing membership join us in Dundee in February for what will be a historic conference.”
