2026 State Conference
The annual supreme policy-making and governing body event of the Victorian Labor Party.
Saturday 23rd & Sunday 24th May

Shaping the future, together.
Over two days, Victorian Labor Party Delegates come together to determine all Party-related matters — shaping policies, amending Rules, selecting officers and committees, reviewing reports, and more. The weekend also features a vibrant schedule of Fringe Events and Marketplace stalls from a range of groups within Victorian Labor.
We warmly welcome all members to come along as Observers for what is set to be an excellent weekend celebrating and shaping our Party.
