Attend the LGC Summit: LGR Special to explore the opportunities, challenges and next steps for local government reorganisation.

Taking place on 16 September at Park Regis, Birmingham, ahead of the LGC Summit, this event offers a timely opportunity to hear from peers, share experiences and practical solutions and gain up-to-date perspectives on one of the sector’s most significant issues. 

Over the last few months, LGR has accelerated, with more areas moving from proposal to implementation, greater clarity emerging from central government on structure and timelines, and councils increasingly focusing on delivery, governance and service integration.

Attend this event to hear the latest developments from our cohort of expert speakers providing insights, practical perspectives and candid discussion alongside valuable opportunities to connect.

Being held under the Chatham House Rule to ensure a safe environment for debate, this conference provides the ideal space to convene, overcome barriers, and chart a path towards genuine transformation.
