Our Annual State Conference is developed to have broad appeal and relevance for the entire sector
2024 OverviewLG Professionals SA is pleased to present the 2024 Annual State Conference: NEXT GEN, a conference designed to inspire and energise South Australian local government professionals to embrace the changes, opportunities and challenges that the future holds, and use these to support prosperous and thriving communities. Meeting the complex challenges of the future will require local governments to increase capacity and deliver services in new ways whilst still meeting customer expectations – to do this the workforce will need to evolve to new ways of thinking and working. This period of rapid change also represents a time of extreme opportunity, and local government is in a unique position to wholeheartedly embrace the future, leading the way for South Australian communities. Developed by the sector for the sector, this conference program is highly relevant and engaging for local government professionals in all job roles and levels, from metropolitan and regional councils and subsidiaries. Join us at the flagship local government conference for 2024 to learn, develop and network with your sector colleagues. A special thanks to our Corporate Partners and Sponsors DIAMOND

Megan HayOverview of our 2024 Annual State Conference 'NEXT GEN'
Thank you to the 300 local government professionals who joined us last Friday, 22 March, at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre for the
LG Professionals SA Annual State Conference. With a fantastic mix of speakers, engaging topics and opportunities for networking, it was a great day for everyone involved!
The theme of this year’s conference was NEXT GEN. We took the opportunity to explore with the sector what the future looks like for local government, how to engage Gen Z and collaborate across the generational divides, what inter-agency collaboration looks like (with a special visit from SA Power Network’s Spot the Robot Dog), and how best we can enhance the experience of our customers. We heard from District Council of Kimba, who have developed and maintained a robust social licence with their community, and finished the day with a story of perseverance, creating your own opportunities and never giving up from self-appointed Sudoku Hall of Famer, Mick Collis. Thank you to Mick, Simon Waller, Isabella Villani, Nick Hart and Spot, Deb Larwood, Dean Johnson, Mark Withers, Katie Iles, Damian Carter, Donna Dunbar, Dayton Tahuri and Shraddha Dhungel for taking the stage and creating a fantastic conference.
Thank you also to our corporate partners and event sponsors, without whom our events would not be possible. We look forward to seeing you all again next year for our Annual State Conference on Friday, 21 March 2025.
