CfGS Annual Conference 2026 – early bird tickets are now available

We are excited to announce that the CfGS Annual Conference 2026 will take place on Thursday, 12 March 2026 at a new venue – Millennium Point, Birmingham (B4 7AP).

Our annual conference is a one-day event, packed with discussions, learning, and hands-on activities, focused on:

• Sharing insight and expertise on delivering excellence in governance and scrutiny
• Exploring how governance and scrutiny can respond to the changing landscape of local democracy

This will be a special year as the government’s English Devolution agenda continues to progress. And we will be celebrating 25 years of Overview and Scrutiny, since its establishment in the Local Government Act 2000.
