Innovation Zone - LGA Conference 2023

The Innovation Zone is a vibrant and creative space within the LGA Annual Conference which hosts a variety of sessions and panel discussions where councils showcase new ideas and solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing local government.

The Innovation Zone is a hugely popular part of the LGA Annual Conference and provides an excellent opportunity for councils to showcase their ideas and achievements. 2022 was the Innovation Zone’s most successful year so far, enjoying huge attendance figures and coverage in national media.

Examples from the 2022 Innovation Zone

The theme for the 2023 Innovation Zone is Challenge and change – and with this we are aiming to share excellent practice that all delegates can learn from and use to create tangible, positive impact in their own councils and communities.

Sessions in the Innovation Zone

Applications are now closed to all councils (and organisations working with councils) and are currently being reviewed. We will be contacting applicants with their outcomes from mid-April 2023.
