2026 People and Culture Network Conference: Culture by Design

Join us at the 2026 LG Professionals SA People and Culture Network Conference - Culture by Design. This conference brings together local government people and culture professionals for a practical, future-focused day dedicated to shaping workplaces with intention, courage and care, and explores how communication, capability, mental safety and values-driven leadership intersect to create strong, sustainable council cultures.

Through engaging keynotes, real-world council case examples and an interactive panel, attendees will gain fresh insights into psychosocial risk, workforce capability uplift and cultural transformation in the local government sector. From building confidence and connection, to creating mentally safe workplaces and embracing constructive “good trouble,” the program is designed to be relevant, practical and energising. Join peers from across the sector to learn, reflect and connect, and leave equipped with ideas and tools you can apply immediately to design culture that delivers for people, councils and communities.

This conference is open to all local government people and culture, work health safety and human resource professionals - we also strongly encourage anyone who works closely with people and culture or with a passion or role in leading the future of the local government workforce to attend.
