LATCo brought together senior local government leaders, LATCo executives and sector partners for a day of practical insight, honest discussion and valuable networking.
Here’s what attendees had to say about the inaugural event:
Brilliant first event. I can’t believe we haven’t had a LATCo conference before. Invaluable information shared, can’t wait for the next event.
LATCo 26 was a highly positive and insightful experience. The content was excellent, and the event offered great networking opportunities with sector leaders. A worthwhile event and a great experience overall.
Thanks to the MJ for putting on the first national LATCo conference. it was an invaluable opportunity to hear from others in the sector and build our network so we can go from strength to strength in the offer to our communities.
For those of us leading LATCos, the message was clear: run it well, run it transparently, and don’t be afraid to think commercially while delivering public good. A timely reminder that when these organisations are led properly, they can be a powerful tool for councils and communities alike.
A really great inaugural LATCo conference with content and speakers that kept the attention of the audience across the day.
A fantastic day where I was able to listen to the sharing of experiences of others who work in the LATCo space and to balance them against my own experiences of creating and operating these companies. The opportunity to expand my knowledge and to extend my network reach was invaluable.
I highly recommend attendance at future events should it be a local authority wanting to know more about how and why LATCo's can be a positive means of delivering key services, an individual already working for a LATCo, thought leaders who want to gain a broader perspective of LATCo's, consultants and those who provide a support service to LATCo's.
This first LATCo event was very timely, as different delivery models are definitely back on the agenda with local government reorganisation.
The inaugural MJ LATCo conference felt like a real moment of connection for me. Spending the day with colleagues from across the country—each navigating similar challenges and opportunities—was a reminder of just how far the LATCo model has come, and how much shared ambition there is to keep improving the way we serve our communities.
We have found the LATCo conference very insightful. The speakers are of high quality and we have learnt a lot from the wide rage of topics on LATCo. Thank you for the excellent organisation.
Excellent event with a wide range of speakers and some useful conversations with fellow delegates.
The event was inspiring, informative and really well run. I really enjoyed the event and the speakers were all really great.
