#Can I change the days/pass type I am registered for?

In some cases it is possible to make changes to passes at the discretion of the conference team. Administration charges may apply.

#Do you really need a photo for my registration?

We cannot process your registration without a photo for security reasons. The photo must be an accurate representation, but need not necessarily be professionally produced if the quality is high enough. See the guidelines on the registrations page.

#Do fringe events have to be hosted by a member of parliament or can councillors and ordinary party members host them?

Fringe events can be hosted by anyone - ordinary party members, councillors, charities and commercial organisations and is an excellent platform to present a cause close to your heart.

#How can I register?

All registrations will now take place online. Payment can be made using most major credit and debit cards. For more details please see the registration page.

#I'm likely to attend the Autumn Conference in September this year, but not the Spring Conference in March - is it possible to book autumn conference only at a reduced rate before the end of March?

Please note that registrations for just Autumn Conference can not be made until the Spring Conference has passed. After the Spring Conference has taken place online registration will reopen on our website.

#I am speaking at a fringe event - how do I get access to the event?

Please contact the organisation that has asked you to speak as all necessary arrangements are made with them. The registration team will not be able to deal with your query.

#Is there a fringe-only pass?

No, but members have the choice to register for just one day, whilst commercial observers have to register for a minimum of two days.

#I have received a non-voting badge for conference although I am a voting representative - what do I do?

Please contact the Membership Department at membership@libdems.org.uk. The Conference Office cannot help you with questions regarding voting status.

#When is the next Autumn Conference and where?

Our upcoming Autumn Conference will be taking place in Birmingham 17-21 September 2011. For future reference please see registrations for dates of upcoming conferences.

#Why haven't I received a receipt for my registration payment yet?

Receipts are available once you have gone through WorldPay (the payment stage of the registration process); simply print off the final page with all the necessary details including VAT. You can log back in to your registration to find this.

#Who can register as a charity observer?

Charity observer passes are only available to charities with a valid charity number; any others will need to register as regular observers.
