NALC Annual Conference returns to shape the future of grassroots local government
Tickets are now on sale for our Annual Conference, the flagship national event for parish and town councils and the largest gathering of the sector in England.
The Annual Conference is an essential event for parish and town councils seeking to understand, influence and respond to the changing landscape of grassroots local government. With national reforms gathering pace, the conference provides a dedicated space for parish and town councils to cut through policy complexity and focus on what change really means for communities.
This year's programme will examine the major reforms reshaping local government, including devolution, local government reorganisation, planning, finance and climate action. It will explore where parish and town councils currently stand, the opportunities and risks emerging from reform, and what councils need to thrive in the years ahead.
Through expert speakers, panel discussions and practical insight from across the sector, the conference will ask whether government commitments are delivering tangible benefits at the community level, where councils may be losing ground, and how the sector can assert its role with confidence. Sessions will provide space for honest reflection on what has worked, what has not, and how parish and town councils can help shape the next phase of reform rather than react to it.
Alongside the conference programme, the exhibition will showcase new ideas, services and solutions designed to support the evolving work of parish and town councils. Attendees will also have valuable opportunities to network with parish and town councils facing similar challenges and opportunities, share experiences and build lasting connections across the sector.
The conference will take place at America Square Conference Centre in London, bringing parish and town councils from across the country together at a pivotal moment for grassroots local government.
Whether you are a councillor helping to shape your community's future or a clerk managing increasing responsibilities, our Annual Conference is your opportunity to strengthen your voice, gain clarity on national reforms and ensure parish and town councils remain firmly part of the national conversation.
