TRG at Conference 2009

This year's Conservative Party Conference promises to be an exciting and dynamic week, packed full of speeches and fringe events. There is an enormous amount to do before the election. As the last conference before that election, next week is an opportunity for the Party to show voters that we have the policies that will get the country back on its feet, that we will take the bold decisions to tackle our country's problems and that we are the Party to be trusted with reforming the NHS.

As the home of progressive, liberal conservatism, the TRG is keen to feed into the policy debates that will be happening in and around conference. We are hosting five fringe events this year, the details of which are below. We look forward to seeing many of you in Manchester.
