#CfGSConf26

Time wall with pictures and facts from local government and current affairs stuck slightly haphazardly on a wall

A man gesticulates in front of a wall with pieces of paper containing information stuck messily on a wall with lines between them - from the famous Pepe Silvia, Always Sunny in Philadelphia meme

Our conference – Learning from yesterday, leading for tomorrow – marks 25 years of executive arrangements and overview and scrutiny, following the Local Government Act 2000. We wanted to show how much has happened. Any... erm... resemblance to a famous meme is purely coincidental! #CfGSConf26

Word cloud projected on a wall - including impactful, challenging, collaborative, accountability, empowering, worthwhile, engaging.

The first slido poll at the CfGS Annual Conference In one word, what does good scrutiny feel like when it's working well? #CfGSConf26

A large auditorium screen with an image of a plant pot with the the pot smiling, and the words 'Learning from yesterday, leading for tomorrow'.

It's starting! The first delegates are arriving at the CfGS annual conference for 2026
Thanks to everyone who has helped to support Learning from yesterday, leading for tomorrow – especially our sponsors, the Local Government Association, and Anthony Collins. Thank you so much #CfGSConf26
