Against a backdrop of significant financial challenges, a shrinking workforce, and limited capacity, digital transformation presents a pivotal opportunity for councils to drive public service reform and harness innovation to enhance service delivery for both residents and staff.

LGC Digital Futures, taking place at The Kia Oval on 26th June, will be a content-led and multistage event with a dedicated stage for the senior leadership team to learn how to lead successfully in the digital age. It will also have a dedicated stage for heads of service to gain practical knowledge on how to use digital innovation to deliver services which meet residents’ needs, are fit-for-purpose and efficient.

The event aims to: 

• Drive meaningful debate on the future direction of digital transformation. 
• Empower senior leadership teams to lead effectively in the digital age.
• Demonstrate how digital innovation can enable councils to deliver efficient, purpose-fit services that meet residents’ needs. 
• Foster a collaborative environment for knowledge sharing and the exchange of case studies. 
• Explore strategies to leverage digital transformation for sustainability amidst resource constraints and tight budgets. 

Who should attend?

LGC Digital Futures is a free-to-attend event for qualifying delegates. We welcome a range of local government colleagues to attend the event, from Chief Executives and Heads of Services, as well as CIO/CDO/CTOs and digital transformation leads.
