The COSLA Annual Conference and Exhibition are back for 2025. The theme of this year's conference is: The Future of Localism.
This year’s event will be held at the Fairmont, St. Andrews on 13th and 14th November 2025, where delegates have the opportunity to network in-person, hear from inspiring leaders and experts, and debate political hot topics.
This year’s Conference will be examining the theme of The Future of Localism.
As COSLA celebrates its 50th anniversary year, we’ll be looking ahead to what the coming 50 years may hold for Local Government and localism.
As technology develops and leads people increasingly to work, learn and socialise virtually, we must not lose sight of the importance of place. Councils are key to this, providing vital local services with communities at their heart.
Similarly, as public services continue to operate under strain, the system must reform in a way that pulls services together rather than apart and maintains a focus on community and place. It goes without saying that people live their lives locally and as services adapt to the future, we must ensure that all communities are served well and supported to thrive.
Don't miss the opportunity to discuss The Future of Localism and hear from a range of contributors. Book your place now for our Conference on Thursday 13th and Friday 14th November 2025.
