The Labour Party returned to Liverpool in September 2026 for its first conference under a new leader. This proved a fantastic opportunity to engage with the new administration and understand the direction the party will be taking for the remainder of this parliament.

Our team of expert event producers delivered over 30 fringe events across the conference.

Speakers at our 2026 fringe events included: Rt Hon Yvette Cooper MP, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care; Dame Angela Eagle MP, Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Rt Hon Heidi Alexander MP, Secretary of State for Transport; Kate Dearden MP, Minister for the Future of Work; Lord Peter Hendy, Minister of State for Rail, Department of Transport; Chris McDonald MP, Minister of State for Science, Innovation and Investment; Luke Pollard MP, Minister for Defence Procurement; Uma Kumaran MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office; Keir Mather MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Aviation, Maritime and Decarbonisation; Sonia Kumar MP, PPS, Department of Health and Social Care plus many more MPs.

Please note we have listed the speakers above based on the positions they held at the time of speaking at our fringe events and not based on their current role.

Total Politics, with our strong, established relationships with senior Labour figures, delivered high-profile speakers from government for our partners and attendees across all our fringe events. You can find out details of our past events and speakers at the 2026 conference below.
