The Scottish First Minister will cite a recent poll, indicating support for independence has increased to 49%.
On Thursday, David Lidington, the PM's de facto deputy, dismissed the prospect of a fresh independence vote, saying:"We don't see any evidence that there's a demand from the people of Scotland for changing the decision they took in 2014."
The SNP leader will tell the conference:"On Thursday, they tried to justify their position by saying there was no upsurge in support for independence."It shows support for independence already up. So our job now is to get it surging. And ensure that no Tory government can ever stand in the way of Scotland's right to choose."
