future.local.dorset | autumn conference 2026
Join us for a one-day conference for councillors and clerks focusing on the role of councillors, as elected members, in ensuring councils are geared up for today’s challenges, and tomorrow’s.
Councillors have a central role in ensuring their councils are well-run, effective and ready to meet the changing needs of their communities and strong governance is at the heart of that responsibility. This conference brings together expert speakers and sector experience to explore key issues and provide practical guidance, fresh perspectives and useful tools to help you strengthen your council’s governance and build confidence in meeting the challenges ahead.
