It's vital for local government that leading professionals possess the skills and knowledge to deliver innovation and improvement.
One of the most effective ways of supporting high achievers is through the sharing of ideas, networking and discussions with experienced and respected colleagues.
Solace events are designed by local government, for local government.
Our events offer invaluable opportunities for meeting and talking with high profile successful people from both public, voluntary and private sectors. We create a platform for some of the sector's leading thinkers, expert minds and inspirational practitioners.
The Solace programme includes events across the year specifically planned to support chief executives, senior managers and aspiring future public sector leaders.
We aim to create a learning and networking programme which is second to none across local public services.
Our flagship event is the Solace Summit. In 2014 the summit will focus on Leading Local Solutions, held from 15 to 17 October in Liverpool.
We also hold a series of events in London and across the country focused on the key issues impacting on local government and our members. In recent months we have delivered seminars, receptions and masterclasses on a wide range of important and challenging issues, including innovation and creativity in councils, cultural services, local growth, skills and education, strategic commissioning, welfare reform, public health and change management.
