DCN’s Annual Conference takes place on 13-14 March 2025 at De Vere Beaumont Estate in Old Windsor, a stone’s throw from Runnymede, the birthplace of UK democracy. The Beaumont is a bigger venue and will accommodate all delegates under one roof. We are hugely looking forward to welcoming you.
We’re pleased to say that we’ve kept the main ticket price frozen. You can book your place by following this link. Please share this invitation widely with your colleagues.
At our 2025 conference we will engage with the opportunities and challenges our sector faces, with issues including planning reform and devolution looming large on everyone’s radar. We’ll also examine how DCN councils can devise new and innovative ways to deliver for our communities.
Delegates will have the chance to engage with high-profile speakers, including expected Government ministers, MPs across the political spectrum, local government partners and leaders from the private sector and other walks of life. There will also be interactive sessions showcasing best practice and innovation in service delivery.
The conference offers a golden opportunity to meet others in our network and find out how other elected members and officers are grappling with the same issues we you face on your council.
