This year's conference program brought together real-world case studies, forward-looking insights, and practical sessions designed to support local government professionals at every stage of their leadership and financial management journey. Delegates explored emerging trends, deepened their technical and strategic skills, and engaged in conversations that reflect the evolving landscape of local government in BC. With a mix of keynotes, member-led sessions, and opportunities to learn from partners and peers, the program was built to inform, inspire, and empower.
