CLGF Conferences

The Commonwealth Local Government Conferences are held every two years in different countries across the Commonwealth. The conference is CLGF’s flagship event and the big international event in local government for senior politicians, practitioners and others working in and with local government including
- national, state and provincial ministers of local government,
- mayors and local leaders,
- local government association presidents,
- senior officials,
- academics and representatives of professional organisations,
- civil society
- and the private sector.

The conference provides an opportunity to discuss issues and developments and share knowledge and good practice in local government as well as peer-to-peer networking. Delegates learn about new policies, approaches and ideas that can help councils and local authorities to improve their structures and deliver effective services to the community.
