Delegate Registration form for fringes

Topics and content discussed in fringe events do not necessarily represent TUC policy, which can only be made at Congress, and are the responsibility of the organising unions involved.

Please note, whilst the main conference has the facility for delegates and visitors to join online we are unable to offer this facility for the fringe programme.
Fringe events will be taking place at both Showroom Workstation, Sheffield and Sheffield Town Hall over the weekend.
