Frequently Asked Questions

We're looking for senior leaders from local government who are driving digital transformation in their councils. This includes Chief Executives, CIOs, Chief Digital Officers, Directors of IT, Heads of Digital Transformation, and other C-suite decision-makers with real-world experience tackling the challenges facing local authorities today.

Share what's actually working in your council. We want practical case studies, honest lessons learned, and real strategies you've implemented – not theory. Topics include digital transformation, AI and automation, cyber security, data-driven decision making, cloud migration, digital inclusion, skills development, and managing change. If you've navigated a challenge that other councils are facing, we want to hear about it.

Sessions include main room presentations, panel discussions, and breakout sessions. You might deliver a solo 20-minute presentation, join a panel with fellow local government leaders, or participate in a Q&A discussion. We'll work with you to find the format that best fits your experience and comfort level.

No. Speaking at LGPN is complimentary. We cover your attendance for both days, including all sessions, networking opportunities, meals, and accommodation. You'll also have the opportunity to connect with peers and solution providers addressing the same challenges you face.

Beyond your presentation or panel session (typically 20-45 minutes), you're encouraged to stay for the full two-day event. This gives you the chance to learn from other speakers, network with fellow senior leaders, explore innovative solutions from our sponsors, and participate in the broader conversation about digital transformation in local government. Many speakers find the networking and peer connections just as valuable as presenting.
