CfGS’s annual conference in 2026 will be a special one – as we look back on 25 years of overview and scrutiny, and the local government act of 2000. We’ll use this moment to reflect on how far we’ve come – and ask how the next five, 10, and 25 years will look for local democracy.
We’ll tackle the urgent questions for our sector, while providing lots of sessions and content on delivering excellence in governance and scrutiny. The conference will be organised across three key themes:
- Place governance: How we govern across places, not just within institutions?
- Systems of assurance: How councils build cultures of shared responsibility for governance risk and resilience?
- Future democracy: How democracy adapts and endures in the face of social, digital and ecological change?
