The LGC Summit is a critical and prestigious event in the calendar for council chief executives and their senior officers

Now in its 25^th year, the Summit operates under the Chatham House Rule - creating a trusted space for attendees to openly share challenges and spark innovative thinking.

Three key reasons to attend the LGC Summit:

1. Connect with your peers across the sector, build relationships and share insights and experiences with others who are facing similar challenges.
2. Be inspired by thought-provoking speakers, learn about new and innovative strategies, and contribute to the discussion on the most pressing issues of the day.
3. Take time to reflect, collaborate and deliberate on the future direction of the sector in a safe environment.

As councils continue to navigate significant challenges - from funding pressures and financial uncertainty to the deepening housing crisis and increasing demand for special educational needs, the sector is also preparing for widespread Local Government Reorganisation. This shift brings fresh complexities and added pressure for councils and their leadership teams.

Against this backdrop, the LGC Summit returns with a focused, 24-hour programme designed to support council chief executives and senior officers. It offers a valuable opportunity to hear from leading thinkers within and beyond the sector, exchange insights, and explore practical solutions, encouraging open and honest dialogue on the most pressing issues facing local government.

Taking place in Birmingham on 16^th & 17^th September, this prestigious, invitation-only event comes at a pivotal moment. Over two days, attendees will engage in inspiring keynotes, thought-provoking panel discussions and interactive sessions, with a networking drinks reception and dinner to round off the first day, and overnight hotel accommodation provided for all attendees.

The LGC Summit is more than just an event - it’s a vital space for chief executives and senior officers to connect, reflect, collaborate and explore what lies ahead for local government.
