Towns and Cities Fit for the future
Join us for a day of stimulating idea exchange, as we bring together local government place-making leaders with their US, Canadian, Australian and European counterparts in an innovative discussion-driven conference format.
The annual apex event for our local government community puts the focus on Connected Communities, Service Transformation and Digital Delivery - in a unique unconference format engineered to promote the sharing of insights and best practice.

Thought Leadership
Everyone contributes at Future Place Summit as speakers and delegates sit alongside each other in small group discussions - enabling candid and discreet conversations focused on the immediate priorities of participants.
These discussions are supplemented by lively panel discussions featuring senior Local Government and their international counterparts.
“It was a really thoughtful and interesting session. I learned a lot.”

You decide what topics to focus on
Unlike conventional conferences where you can end up sitting through content you just don't need, we bring together local government experts from across the UK, North America and Europe - and then let delegates choose which discussion sessions to be a part of.

A Meeting of Minds: Join more than 50 experts as they host small-group discussions
The Covid crisis has accelerated the pace of reorganisation among local authorities. As they embark on operational transformation to deliver more with less and re-imagine the future of towns, cities and communities, place-making leaders are coming together for the Summit to share ideas on what works and why.

Ideas, Experience & Connections
