The MJ Future Forums have always been a huge success. Due to popular demand, we cannot wait to launch The MJ Future Forum Midlands this September.

To get an idea of what our delegates thought about the latest forum in the Midlands in September 2024 and in Hertfordshire in March 2024, see below.

One of the best events in the Local Gov calendar. Insightful speakers, topical and relevant and a great chance to share experiences with industry colleagues.

The MJ Future Forum is an excellent opportunity to learn, reflect and shape the challenges and changes faced by local government. It is an event with the right level of pace, energy and time out to gain greater insights, connect with peers and come back inspired with ideas and new thinking!

Great opportunity to hear about some of the most pressing challenges LAs are facing and what some areas are doing about it. An opportunity for leaders of place to come together and talk about the hard stuff.

I found The MJ Future Forum providing a great blend of key speakers, insights and networking opportunities. The smaller nature of the event in terms of the total audience and the 24 hour approach to the whole event made this well worth attending.
