Normally Congress is the policy making body of the TUC; the annual congress meets for four days each year during September. Each affiliated union can send delegates. At congress motions are proposed and discussed and form the basis of the TUC's work for the next year. Congress is usually attended by about 600 delegates from 48 affiliated unions, has an exhibition, a fringe programme and receptions and an annual General Council dinner. Around 3,000 people would normally come through the doors over the course of the four days to take part in debate, the fringe, to exhibit or to report on the policy debates at Congress. This is a high-profile media event, widely regarded as the first big set piece occasion after the summer break, before the start of the political party conferences. In 2021 the TUC is looking to run a full Congress schedule in Liverpool.
