CND Conference 2025
Event Date: 11th October 2025
Location: Online
Dear CND Groups, Areas, Regions, Nations, Specialist Sections and Affiliates,
We look forward to welcoming you to CND’s AGM and Policy Conference. This year the AGM and Policy Conference will be held online on Saturday 11 October.
Saturday 11 October – CND’s online AGM and Policy Conference
The AGM makes key decisions on CND’s governance, including elections for Officers and directly elected Council members. Our campaigning activities are reviewed at the AGM, but important decisions are also made on our finances, such as the consideration of a finance report and the appointment of auditors. This is a relatively short, business-like meeting, to start the day.
Having ensured all key matters around elections, finance and annual reports are concluded we continue with policy debates centred on motions submitted by groups and members. This is our Policy Conference that provides members with the important opportunity to decide our overall direction for the coming year so please do encourage as many of your groups or members as possible to join and contribute!

Information about CND AGM and Policy Conference
Who can participate?
CND Groups, Areas, Regions, Nations, Specialist Sections and Affiliates are all entitled to send delegates to CND conference and AGM. Individual members are also eligible to participate. All those voting at the AGM must be company members of CND (a legal obligation because CND is a company limited by guarantee). Company member forms (where you agree to pay £1 if CND is wound up) for individuals and organisations as well as registration forms can be found on the conference website.
The number of delegates eligible to attend conference and the number of votes to which your group is entitled will be emailed to groups in late September by the Supporter Database Manager. The number of company members in your group determines your voting entitlement at conference. To maximise your votes, make sure as many of your members as possible are company members as well as members of CND by 8 September.
