Working together to build sustainable communities: To ease the impact of climate change on our communities, the pressure is now on for local authorities and housing associations to implement innovative initiatives that build sustainable communities. Chaired by Rob Whiteman CBE, CEO CIPFA

Enabling public service innovation with place based leadership: We will discuss how collaborative, place-based leadership engenders proactive solutions to localised issues, strengthens communities and enables public service innovation.

Designing efficient, technology enabled services to help drive productivity: New and emerging technologies, like AI, automation, machine learning, are already transforming the way public services are delivered.
