We’re delighted to be taking part in the WLGA Conference 2025, the biggest event in the Welsh local government calendar. The conference is taking place in person at Venue Cymru, Llandudno, on 18–19 June.
This year’s conference is particularly significant. It comes nearly a year on from the UK General Election and less than a year before the Senedd Election in Spring 2026—setting the stage for some of the most crucial conversations in public service.
Throughout the two days, delegates will hear from leading politicians from both local and national governments, as well as voices from academia, business, and the third sector. It’s a golden opportunity to network with decision-makers and thought leaders across Wales’ public, private and voluntary sectors.
Where to find us
We have a stand both days, so do drop by to say hello and learn more about our work.
