The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) has launched its first-ever one-day online conference, Future Communities 2021, taking place on 2 December 2021.
The online conference will focus on why local (parish and town) councils are pivotal to building back stronger and better and shaping thriving, resilient future communities.
It will feature high-profile experts and leading figures from local and central government and national organisations. And will give attendees a chance to discuss and debate the key issues facing communities, network and share good practice with fellow councillors, clerks and council staff from across England, and connect with sector-specific suppliers at the innovative online exhibition.
The online conference includes:
- Opportunity to hear direct from the NALC chair
- Five inspiring and thought-provoking keynote sessions which include a Q&A segment
- Four practical workshops running simultaneously (repeated twice) providing advice, guidance and insights
- A dedicated sector-specific exhibition marketplace with information on products and services with 1-2-1 meetings available in real-time
- Meet the conference headline sponsors (BHIB Councils Insurance, Blachere Illumination and CCLA)
- All keynote and workshop sessions recorded and available after the event
- Two coffee breaks and a lunch break to refresh, network and visit the exhibition marketplace
- Online cafe to meet and connect with other attendees
