Abstract: We provide a unified description of the three covariant superspace approaches to $calN=2$ conformal supergravity in four dimensions: (i) conformal superspace; (ii) $mathsfU(2)$ superspace; and (iii) $mathsfSU(2)$ superspace. Each of them can be used to formulate general supergravity-matter systems, although conformal superspace has the largest structure group and is intimately related to the superconformal tensor calculus. We review the structure of covariant projective multiplets and demonstrate how they are used to describe pure and matter-coupled supergravity, including locally superconformal off-shell sigma models. Higher-derivative invariants, topological invariants and super-Weyl anomalies are also briefly discussed.
