state party conference
The official assembly of the members or delegates of a political party at the level of a federal state, held to make decisions about policy or personnel.
Auf dem Landesparteitag wurde ein neuer Vorsitzender für die Partei gewählt.
At the state party conference, a new chairperson was elected for the party.
The word is a compound made up of 'Land' (in the sense of federal state), 'Partei' (party), and 'Tag' (day/conference). Here, 'Tag' does not mean calendar day, but stands for 'Tagung' (conference) or 'Versammlung' (assembly).
Der Landesparteitag ist die höchste Versammlung einer Partei in einem Bundesland.
The state party conference is the highest assembly of a party in a federal state.
This word belongs firmly in a political context. It refers to the assembly of a party at the level of a German federal state, in contrast to the 'Bundesparteitag' (federal party conference) at the national level.
Die Presse berichtete ausführlich über den Landesparteitag in Bayern.
The press reported in detail on the state party conference in Bavaria.
Certain verbs are often used in connection with a 'Landesparteitag' (state party conference): a party conference 'findet statt' (takes place), is 'abgehalten' (held), or 'eröffnet' (opened). At it, something is 'beschlossen' (decided/adopted) or someone is 'gewählt' (elected).
Der nächste Landesparteitag findet in Stuttgart statt.
The next state party conference will take place in Stuttgart.
When referring to the event, the preposition 'auf' with the dative is almost always used: auf dem Landesparteitag (at the state party conference).
Die Entscheidung wurde auf dem letzten Landesparteitag getroffen.
The decision was made at the last state party conference.
general meeting
'die Mitgliederversammlung' and 'der Landesparteitag' both refer to official meetings where decisions can be made. 'Mitgliederversammlung' is the general term for an organization, an association, or also a party. 'Landesparteitag' is more precise and more political: it belongs to a party and takes place at the level of a German federal state. The words can be confused because in both cases members or delegates come together. If it is not specifically about a party in a German federal state, 'Mitgliederversammlung' is usually the right word. For party politics at state level, you say 'Landesparteitag'.
Beim Landesparteitag in Stuttgart wurde das Wahlprogramm beschlossen.

Im Protokoll der Mitgliederversammlung stehen alle wichtigen Beschlüsse des Vereins.
The minutes of the general meeting include all the association's important resolutions.
