Join us in Nottingham for LGcomms Academy 2026, the annual event that brings together public sector communications professionals from across the UK to learn, connect and prepare for the road ahead. Taking place on 23rd and 24th June, this year’s theme, “Gear Up”, focuses on equipping communicators with the tools, insight and confidence needed to navigate an increasingly complex communications landscape.

LGcomms Academy is a well-established national event that offers a unique opportunity for professionals working in public services communications to come together, develop key skills and share ideas. Across two days you will hear from expert speakers, take part in practical workshops and gain fresh perspectives from colleagues facing similar challenges across the sector.

The programme is designed to provide a mix of learning, practical training, networking and interactive sessions suitable for communications professionals at every stage of their career. If you are looking to sharpen your skills, expand your network and prepare for the challenges ahead, gear up and join us in Nottingham this June.

Hear more from our Chair Louise Neilan about this year’s theme, and what to look forward to at Academy this year.
