The LGA’s Annual Conference and Exhibition – originally planned for 2-4 July – has been rescheduled for 22-24 October, at the Harrogate Convention Centre.
The organisation’s Annual General Assembly will still be held virtually on Tuesday 2 July.
Cllr Kevin Bentley, LGA Senior Vice-Chairman, said: “We are delighted to have been able to secure a date for our annual conference to be held this October as we know it is an event which is hugely valued by our members.
“It will provide a perfect opportunity for the local government family to come together after the general election and discuss the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
“However, we are acutely aware that the date we had to choose, due to venue availability, falls within half term in some areas of the country and may prove difficult for those with childcare and caring responsibilities.
“We took all issues into consideration when making this decision but believe the chance to convene as a sector at such an important time will be invaluable.
“We are finalising a programme of speakers and sessions, which we will say more about after the election, and look forward to seeing as many of our local government colleagues and partners in Harrogate as possible.”
