The terms party conference (UK English), political convention (US English), and party congress usually refer to a general meeting of a political party. The conference is attended by certain delegates who represent the party membership. In most political parties, the party conference is the highest decision-making body of the organization, tasked with electing or nominating the party's leaders or leadership bodies, deciding party policy, and setting the party's platform and agendas.
The term conference or caucus may also refer to the organization of all party members as a whole.
The definitions of all of these terms vary greatly, depending on the country and situation in which they are used.
