Join us for the next East Midlands regional network meeting, held in partnership with East Midlands Councils.
Building on the success of our previous events, the next meeting will be held on Tuesday 23 September 2025 at Nottinghamshire County Hall in West Bridgford.
Our LGcomms regional networks, developed by LGcomms along with the Local Government Association, provide an important forum for members to share issues, best practice and campaigns, and hear briefings from key partners. They’re also an important opportunity to focus on communications challenges which are unique to regions and network with colleagues.
