Liverpool will welcome the 2025 LGA Annual Conference and Exhibition, from the 1-3 July 2025 at ACC Liverpool – an event poised to redefine the future of local government across the UK.
Known for its rich history, cultural vibrancy, and spirit of innovation, Liverpool provides the perfect backdrop for a gathering focused on transformation, empowerment, and progress
Who should attend:
This conference is designed for senior representatives from local authorities and the business and voluntary and community sectors including:
- Leaders
- Elected Members
- Chief Executives and Deputy Chief Executives
- Directors
- Heads of Service
Taking place at a time of unprecedented change for local authorities, the conference will bring together council leaders, policymakers, and partners from across the country to tackle the sector’s biggest challenges—from rising costs and static income to growing inequalities and the rapid pace of technological change.
This year’s theme, Empowering People, Empowering Places, reflects a bold vision for the future, one where councils are equipped to lead on prevention, public service reform, and sustainable economic growth. With the right tools and support, local government can continue to be the backbone of communities, driving innovation and improving lives.
A FRESH FORMAT FOR 2025
In a first for the LGA, the 2025 programme will be structured around three dynamic content streams, each running across the full three days:
- A Place to Call Home: Exploring the future of place-shaping through devolution, climate action, planning, and local economic development.
- People First: Focusing on social care, public health, and tackling health inequalities to build stronger, more inclusive communities.
- System Leadership: Highlighting innovation in digital technology, financial resilience, and public sector reform.
With Liverpool as the host city, delegates can expect not only a world-class conference experience but also the chance to explore one of the UK’s most iconic and forward-thinking urban centres. From its waterfront landmarks to its thriving cultural scene, Liverpool offers the perfect setting for inspiration, collaboration, and bold new ideas.
