14 new LGR areas. 20 months to Vesting Day. Join DDaT leaders to prioritise the decisions that ensure safe, legal, successful new councils.
The decisions taken in the first three of those months will shape the whole programme. This one-day event brings DDaT leaders together to work through the priorities that most determine whether the new councils land safely, legally and set up to transform – not just merge.
Who is it for:
- DDaT leads, heads of service and programme leads in councils confirmed for LGR delivery by April 2028
- Senior BAs, enterprise architects, service designers and delivery leads shaping vesting day and beyond
- Chief information security officers and information governance leads with LGR in their risk register
