About the Summit

The LGAi Summit returns for its third year — bringing together people from across local government, digital, data and emerging tech to explore how AI can strengthen public services.

What began as a bold idea in 2023 is now a thriving community of more than 300 colleagues. Together, we champion practical innovation that makes life better for the people drawing on support.

This year’s theme, “Connecting local authorities and AI – from challenge to impact,” reflects the real questions councils are working through right now:

• Where can AI genuinely help?
• How do we build trust, capability and confidence?
• What does good look like in practice?

Across the morning, you’ll hear from councils and partners who are testing new approaches, overcoming hurdles and seeing early signs of impact.

Who Should Attend

This event is for anyone in:

• Local authority digital, data, transformation or service roles
• Adult social care, children’s services, SEND or Early Help
• Policy, commissioning or improvement teams
• Tech and consultancy organisations working with local government
• People curious about what responsible, people-centred AI looks like in practice

Whether you’re just starting your AI journey or already testing new tools, you’ll leave with ideas you can use straight away.
