Our Annual Conference is an essential event for parish and town councils looking to understand and influence the future of grassroots local government.
As national reforms reshape the local government landscape, this conference brings parish and town councils together to cut through policy noise and focus on what change really means for parishes and towns. From devolution and reorganisation to planning, finance and climate action, the programme examines where parish and town councils stand now and what they need to thrive in the years ahead.
Through expert speakers, panel discussions and practical insight from across the sector, the conference will explore whether government commitments are delivering real benefits at the community level, where councils may be losing ground, and how the sector can assert its role with confidence. It is a chance to reflect honestly on what has worked, what has not, and how parish and town councils can shape the next phase of reform rather than react to it.
Alongside the conference sessions, the exhibition offers opportunities to discover new ideas, services and solutions to support your council's work, while networking with other councils facing the same challenges and opportunities.
Whether a councillor helping to shape your community's future or a clerk managing increasing responsibilities, this is your opportunity to strengthen your voice, gain clarity, and ensure parish and town councils are firmly part of the national conversation.
