Supporting a reception at our conference is a brilliant way to put your organisation in front of engaged Welsh Liberal Democrat members, councillors, candidates, and campaigners. These events bring people together in a relaxed setting, offering an ideal moment to make new connections, deepen existing relationships, and raise your profile with key stakeholders. 

What to Expect

Receptions are scheduled at key moments during the conference to ensure maximum visibility and impact for your organisation. Choose from the following options:

• Members & Activists’ Welcome Receptions - Held on Saturday and Sunday mornings in the exhibition area, offering guaranteed footfall with tea, coffee, juices, and pastries.
• Meet the Candidates Breakfast - A relaxed breakfast where Observers can chat directly with our Senedd candidates.
• Senedd Candidates Drinks Reception - An early-evening gathering dedicated to thanking and celebrating our Senedd candidates, offering a warm and appreciative atmosphere with excellent visibility for your organisation.
