===National Events=== Generally, before the organisation's relaunch, Labour Students held four main national events each year, attended by club members from institutions across the country. ; Summer Training : Summer Training is primarily intended for members entering their second and third years of study. There is often a focus on preparing Labour Clubs for recruitment drives at the beginning of the new academic year. The event is usually structured with a variety breakout sessions and workshops, led by industry experts, trade unions and other campaigning organisations. In recent years{{When|date=April 2015}} Summer Training has included sessions led by Matthew Doyle (former deputy director of Communications, [[10 Downing Street]]), Kirsty McNeill (former adviser to [[Gordon Brown]]) and community organising group Movement for Change. There is also usually a heavy emphasis on training from the four liberation campaigns. ; Political Weekend : Political Weekend is usually the event where Labour Students welcomes its new members each year. Labour Students usually hosts a number of high-profile speakers, including government ministers during periods of Labour government and members of the [[Shadow Cabinet]] in times of opposition. ; Liberation Conference Liberation Conference sees the election of Labour Students’ four Liberation Officers (see ‘Liberation Campaigns’). It also includes panels and sessions around issues of particular importance to Liberation groups, for example mental health services or tackling antisemitism on campuses. ; National Conference : National Conference sees the election of the Labour Students National Committee for the following year, as well further policy debate. Though nominally described as an "election", only a small number of delegates vote, along lines pre-determined by their nominating clubs. National Conference is often held in conjunction with [[Young Labour (UK)|Young Labour]] Conference, to help reduce members' travel costs.
