Next year’s DCN Annual Conference will take place on Thursday 14 and Friday 15 March 2024.

The event – the biggest gathering in the district council calendar – will again be held at Sopwell House Hotel, near St Albans, Hertfordshire.

It will feature some of the biggest speakers from within and around the sector, as well as networking opportunities, discussion of best practice and, of course, our prestigious conference dinner.

We anticipate high demand for the conference from our member councils after this year’s event was sold out. DCN expects the conference booking system to open in late October and we will bring you full details nearer that time.

The 2023 event featured national speakers including Local Government Minister Lee Rowley, Attorney General Victoria Prentis and former Deputy Chief Medical Officer Professor Sir Jonathan Van-Tam.

We very much hope you can attend and look forward to seeing you there.
