The parties meet at the party ''Congress'' twice every five years to decide on political orientation, such as adopting [[manifesto]]s ahead of elections. Every year that the Congress does not meet, the Council (a smaller version of the Congress) shapes PES policy. The Congress also elects the party's President, Vice-Presidents and the ''Presidency''.<ref name="How work?"/>

The ''Leader's Conference'' brings together Prime Ministers and Party Leaders from PES parties three to four times a year to agree strategies and resolutions.<ref name="How work?"/>
