- Local Government Association (LGA) 2025 Conference: Empowering People, Empowering Places
Location

- Tuesday 1 – Thursday 3 July 2025
Event details
As local government faces the biggest set of changes in over half a century, this year’s LGA Annual Conference and Exhibition in Liverpool comes at a pivotal moment. Navigating these changes, councils confront increasingly complex community needs and inequalities, rising costs and static income within a challenging economic landscape and an accelerating pace of technology that will transform how we all live, work and deliver services.
This event will help local government tackle these challenges and seize the opportunities ahead. With the right backing, tools and agency, councils can take a central role in prevention, public service reform and driving sustainable economic growth – cementing their place as the backbone of our country, working tirelessly to improve the lives and livelihoods of the residents they serve and support, while closing inequalities and building more vibrant places around them.
Looking toward 2030 and beyond, conference delegates will explore bold strategies to empower people and places – harnessing innovation, embracing new technologies, reimagining service delivery and giving communities a say in how their councils are organised, led and run. The 2025 Conference and Exhibition will bring together the sector and partners all with a shared purpose to strengthen local government, so communities thrive.
What’s New for 2025?
For the first time, the LGA Annual Conference and Exhibition will see programme streamed content, reflecting the core council functions of “place”, “people” and systems-orientated services.
