Dear colleague,
Happy New Year!
As we start 2024, we welcome you to this month's events bulletin where the spotlight is on the LGA’s Annual Culture, Tourism and Sport Conference which takes place on 5 March in South Shields. The event offers delegates the chance to hear about the latest developments, challenges and opportunities facing councils. ‘Change’ is the theme this year, and we will be exploring how councils are embedding sustainability within their cultural and leisure services and looking at the power of promoting equality, diversity and inclusion within culture, tourism and sport.
We also hope you can join us at the LGA’s Annual Licensing Conference which returns virtually on 6 February. The conference will examine the Government’s plans and expectations for licensing as well as exploring the challenges facing licensing authorities, highlighting innovative work being undertaken by councils and their partners and discussing how we can build on best practice.
Please find below details of our other forthcoming events.
