Devolution is changing how England’s regions make decisions, invest and plan for the future. With greater powers, funding and responsibility moving closer to the regions, strategic authorities are entering a new phase, focused on turning ambition into growth, investment and delivery.

But new powers are only the starting point.

The LGC Devolution & Growth Summit brings together the senior decision-makers and practitioners shaping this next phase of English devolution, including mayors, strategic authority teams, council chief executives, finance and economic growth directors, and senior place and delivery professionals.

The focus is practical: how do regions turn new powers and funding into credible growth strategies, investable projects and better outcomes?

Where growth meets investment

The summit creates a unique environment for public and private sector organisations to connect around the opportunities emerging from devolution.

For investors, developers, infrastructure providers, advisers and other delivery partners, it is an opportunity to:

• Meet senior decision-makers across strategic authorities and councils
• Understand emerging priorities and investment pipelines across housing, infrastructure, regeneration and transport
• Build relationships with finance, economic growth, place and delivery professionals
• Demonstrate expertise and contribute to the debate around regional growth
• Identify new opportunities created by devolution and greater local control
• Connect across sectors to develop partnerships and support delivery

What will we explore?

From fiscal devolution and governance to investment, housing, infrastructure, transport, skills and regeneration, the summit will examine the practical choices facing regions as they take on greater responsibility.

The emphasis is on what works, what is changing and where the opportunities lie, giving partners direct insight into the priorities, challenges and investment ambitions shaping England’s regions.

Be part of the next phase of devolution

This is not about debating whether devolution is happening. It is about what comes next.
