### Democratic Socialists review Conference and look ahead to CEC Elections

Join the Democratic Socialists for an open, honest and forward-looking discussion on where Your Party stands after its inaugural Conference, and where we go from here. **Join us on Saturday 6 December, from 7pm online:**

[Book your free ticket](https://buytickets.at/democraticsocialists/1976505)

Our speakers will offer a sharp assessment of what went well, and what didn’t from Conference: the victories worth celebrating, the setbacks we need to confront, and the fights still to come. We’ll also look ahead to the upcoming CEC elections and what they mean for building a genuinely democratic, socialist direction for the party.

After the opening contributions from Democratic Socialist speakers, the floor will be open for discussion, questions, and reflections from all attendees. Whether you’re a long-time organiser or newly involved, this is a space to strategise, debate, and chart the road ahead.
