The international peace conference this year takes place on the 10th December.

Taken from the stop the war website:-

The grave threat to international peace posed by the invasion and
continued occupation of Iraq is now clear for all to see. The people of
Iraq and the citizens of Britain and America have time and again
insisted that they are opposed to war and occupation. We believe it is
now time for representatives of those people to meet together face to
face, to renew our bonds of solidarity and to express our joint
opposition to war.
To that end a broad and representative conference attended by a
delegation of Iraqis drawn from all those sections of society rejecting
the US and British occupation will meet in London on 10th December
2005.
We call on all peace campaigners, trade unionists, the congregations
of all faiths, non-governmental organisations, progressive campaigns,
community organisations and political parties to send delegates to this
conference.
