Join us at the NALC Annual Conference 2027 to explore the changes shaping local government and help shape what comes next.
Our Annual Conference 2027 will examine the changes reshaping local government and what they mean for parish and town councils.
A year on from the government's devolution and local government reorganisation agenda, where has it got to? What has been the experience of parish and town councils, where are new opportunities emerging, and what does the next phase mean for the sector? Explore how stronger relationships between councils and strategic authorities can unlock the potential of devolution, strengthen local decision-making, put communities at the heart of the process and make them a crucial grassroots partner.
The conference will also tackle some of the biggest challenges facing the sector. Get the latest on our campaign for a stronger standards regime and explore what parish and town councils can do now to tackle poor behaviour. Examine the changing local government finance landscape, including proper practices and local audit, and hear practical lessons from councils leading the way on flood resilience and climate adaptation.
Across the programme, expect informed debate, expert insight and practical examples on the issues that matter most to parish and town councils, from structural reform and devolution to standards, finance and building resilient communities.
With the pace of change showing no sign of slowing, the NALC Annual Conference 2027 is the place to understand what comes next, challenge the thinking and help shape the future of the sector.
