THE SNP have confirmed their first in-person conference since 2019 will go ahead at the end of the year.
Nicola Sturgeon’s party held their 2020 and 2021 conferences online as the Covid pandemic disrupted many large gatherings.
In the last year, a number of party conferences have gone ahead in-person across the country – including events for the Scottish Greens, Scottish Labour, Tories and Alba.

Now the SNP have set the date for their long-awaited event, coming ahead of the party’s proposed Scottish independence referendum to be held in 2023.
Independence is likely to be at the centre of the agenda at the upcoming conference, with members keen to get on the campaign trail.
The 88th SNP conference will be held at The Event Complex Aberdeen from October 8-10.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
