Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Foreign Secretary Liz Truss are among the key speakers during the four-day conference. The officials are expected to deliver remarks on the COVID-19 situation, fuel crisis, and relations with the European Union.
The UK Conservative Party's conference kicks off in Manchester on 3 October and is expected to last until 6 October. The event will begin with addresses by newly-appointed Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and Conservative Party Chairman Oliver Dowden.
Over 10,000 delegates are poised to attend the four-day conference.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is set to deliver a keynote speech, earlier pledged to take "big, bold decisions" to transform post-COVID Britain, hoping to set the tone of the conference, which is taking place amid the current shortage of tanker truck drivers. The shortage has already translated into a lack of fuel at petrol stations and long queues by panic buying motorists.

Foreign Secretary Truss Blasts Labour Party for Opposing AUKUS
British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has criticised the opposition Labour Party for their stance on the AUKUS defence pact between London, Washington, and Canberra after the Labour conference in Brighton called it "a dangerous move which will undermine world peace".
She also noted that "Britain's best days are ahead of us" and stressed that the UK "will be tough on those who don't share our values and don't play by the rules".
"It is important we trade with China, but we must make sure it is reliable trade, that it avoids strategic dependency and that it does not involve the violation of intellectual property rights or forced technology transfer", she said.
