Co-operative Congress

Cover of the handbook of the 28th Annual Co-operative Congress at Woolwich 1896

The Co-operative Congress is the national conference of the UK Co-operative Movement. The first of the modern congresses took place in 1869 following a series of meetings called the "Owenite Congress" in the 1830s. Members of Co-operatives UK (previously the Co-operative Union) send delegates to the annual congress, where reports of national bodies are made and debates held on subjects of importance to the Co-operative Movement.[1] The meetings also include the Annual General Meeting of Co-operatives UK.[2]
