Partnership opportunities


Interested in sponsoring our events?

Now in its third year, LGC Digital Futures brings together the senior leaders and stakeholders shaping local government's digital future.

Against a backdrop of deep financial pressure, workforce shortages, and constrained capacity, digital transformation has become the biggest opportunity for councils to reform public services and improve delivery for residents and staff alike. LGC Digital Futures gives sponsoring partners a direct line into this conversation: insight into the sector's challenges and future plans, the opportunity to contribute expertise, and access to a hard-to-reach audience of decision-makers.

Association with the event builds credibility with an audience that rarely engages through conventional marketing channels. Local government's senior digital and operational leaders are time-poor and selective about the events they attend; their presence, now in its third year running, signals a level of engagement sponsors can leverage well beyond the day itself. The event's format, built around case study sharing and knowledge exchange in a trusted, closed environment, favours genuine dialogue over transactional networking, making it well suited to organisations with solutions for digital transformation, service efficiency, and sustainable resourcing in the public sector.

By sponsoring the event, you will be able to:

  • Meet local authority decision-makers directly
  • Raise your profile with a broad audience of digital stakeholders
  • Collect audience data for ongoing marketing and sales activity
  • Demonstrate your expertise in the field
  • Showcase your solutions and gain thought leadership in a key sector
  • Gain insight on councils' needs to inform your future business plans
  • Benefit from sustained visibility through pre-event marketing, on-the-day branding, and post-event content, extending your reach across LGC's full campaign period
