For the first time at #LGAConf26, we'll present a new photographic and written exhibition: Inspiring People who make our Place.
Sponsored by @LocalLeadership curated by @thinking_place, it champions the unseen local authority workers who quietly improve our places every day.

Thank you to all our contributors and hosts who shaped honest, stretching conversations. As we look ahead to our next module in Boston, USA, the question stays with us: how do we use power responsibly, relationally and courageously?
