The Ningdu Conference (simplified Chinese: 宁都会议; traditional Chinese: 寧都會議; pinyin: Níngdū Huìyì) was a meeting of the Communist Party of China (CPC) held in the Banshan Ancestral Hall (榜山祠) in the village of Xiaoyuan (小源), Ningdu County, Jiangxi Province. The meeting took place in early October 1932 (possibly October 3-8), shortly after the successful repulsion of the Nationalists' third encirclement campaign against the Jiangxi Soviet by the communist forces.
The conference led to a shift in the tactics of the People's Liberation Army from guerrilla warfare to mobile, conventional tactics. Along with this shift in tactics, the conference resulted in Mao Zedong's removal from his leadership positions. He was replaced as commissar of the army by Zhou Enlai. Mao was not restored to central leadership until the Zunyi Conference during the Long March (in January 1935).
