Why attend?

This is the annual update for all Senior Officers from Larger Councils with a budgeted income of £300k, salary grading LC3 / LC4 or aspirations to become Larger!!! Last year there were well over 100 delegates, all of which rated the conference as either very good or good.

Thanks to views canvassed in a recent questionnaire we are currently compiling our agenda. This will be available on the SLCC website as soon as it has been finalised. Once again there will be financial sessions dedicated to RFO’s.

We look forward to seeing you in Nottingham.
