To ensure the right balance between the private and public sectors at our events, we limit the number of providers who can attend and only work with those who we believe can support local government to achieve their goals.
Attend The MJ Future Forum Midlands
Attend The MJ Future Forum Midlands 2026, taking place on 9-10 September in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Designed for chief executives and senior officers, this unmissable forum brings together a group of 40 peers for a 24-hour, closed-door forum designed to allow for open, honest discussion with peers facing many of the same challenges — from financial pressure and service demand to devolution and system reform.
LGR is dominating the landscape for shire councils with elections for new shadow unitaries due in May 2027 amid a backdrop of ongoing devolution deals. Councils continue to face an inflationary storm with demand from social services rapidly swallowing up budgets despite above inflation council tax rises. And turbulent politics after the May elections provides further challenges for management teams.
We keep our forums intentionally small to ensure the conversation remains valuable and candid, therefore places are limited and early registration is imperative - so don't delay, register your interest now to secure your complimentary delegate place (accommodation and food included).
