SNP Convention on Independence
If you have any accessibility requirements, please book your tickets and email us at events@snp.org
Our forthcoming Convention on Independence at the Caird Hall in Dundee on Saturday 24th June is the first fresh opportunity for SNP members to gather and discuss our strategy for securing Scotland’s independence.
This exciting event kick starts a summer programme of independence campaigning activity, including leafleting, canvassing, and regional assemblies; all culminating in our Annual Conference in October, where delegates will officially decide our independence strategy.
Humza will open the conversation at our Convention, setting out his view on the way forward for the people of Scotland to express a clear view on how we advance the cause of independence.
The event is divided into two packed sessions where members’ contributions are at its heart. The first, on the path to independence, will include speakers from the SNP, the wider independence movement, and contributions from the floor. The second will focus on general election strategy.
Members will also be able to take part in a number of interactive activist workshops.
Doors will open at 10:00am and the event will start at 10:30am.
The Convention is open to all members, and a set number of tickets are allocated to each region to help ensure a balanced participation from across the nation.
