About the event

This October, the Co-operative Party will return to Glasgow for the first time since 1995 to hold its Annual Party Conference at the Doubletree by Hilton Glasgow Central Hotel on 11-13 October.  Co-operation and Glasgow have always been synonymous. From the foundation of the co-operative movement in Robert Owen’s pivotal New Lanark and the establishment of the original Fenwick Weavers in 1769 to the present day.
