Ard fheis or ardfheis (/ɑːrd ˈɛʃ/ ard ESH, Irish: [ˌaːɾˠd̪ˠ ˈɛʃ]; "high assembly"; plural ardfheiseanna) is the name used by many Irish political parties for their annual party conference.
Usage
Among the parties who use the term Ardfheis are:
- Fine Gael[1]
- Fianna Fáil[2]
- Sinn Féin[3]
- Éirígí[4]
- Green Party[5][6]
- Republican Sinn Féin[7][8]
- National Party[9][10]
- Workers' Party[11][12]
- Aontú[13][14]

In the Republic of Ireland, the Labour Party, Communist Party, Solidarity–People Before Profit and the Social Democrats do not use the term ardfheis; however, it is still used by the media to refer to their annual conventions in an unofficial way.[16]
Ard chomhairle
Many political parties who use the term ardfheis, also use the term ard chomhairle which means national executive committee. It literally translates as high council and is the governing body of the party.[17]
