LGP Annual Conference 2023 will be held on 17-18 October. Save the date!

As an established leading industry event within NSW local government, the Local Government Procurement Annual Conference provides opportunities to learn and gain knowledge from industry experts and peers about a range of procurement topics and challenges within the sector. It also serves as a platform to develop new professional networks while reinforcing existing working relationships. Our primary goal, along with information sharing and networking, is to share with delegates the latest trends in procurement to help build existing procurement capability.

This year the LGP Annual Conference was held on 18-19 October at Doltone House, Pyrmont. The theme of the conference was 2030 – How will you measure up? The theme panned across Capability, Sustainability and Infrastructure, tying into the United Nations sustainability development goals.

The conference was well attended by local government delegates from across NSW as well as the private sector. Delegates gained valuable knowledge on how to incorporate sustainability in procurement, renewable energy, electric vehicles and ways to achieve councils’ sustainability goals.

Over the two days, delegates enjoyed over 16 hours of presentations, panels, roundtables, structured networking activities and tons of interactivity through networking and discussion groups. Delegates used this opportunity to meet with peers and bounced off ideas and learnt about how they handle similar challenges.

Exhibitors appreciated the platform to showcase their goods and services to a cross-section of procurement professionals from both, the public and private sectors and had engaging discussions at the round robin networking sessions.

LGP once again congratulates the winners of the 2022 LGP Awards for Procurement and Sustainability, LGP Approved Contractor of the Year 2022 and the Best of Show Exhibitor 2022.

A commendable line up of speakers, a keen bunch of delegates, and enthusiastic exhibitors from varied sectors together made the most of the opportunity into a grand success!

We have been receiving a lot of congratulatory and appreciation messages as well as positive feedback from delegates, speakers and attendees about the quality of the conference and exhibition and how much they all benefited from the conference. This positive feedback is very rewarding for the LGP team and we are keen to raise the bar for all our events in 2023. Stay tuned for the LGP Events Calendar 2023 which will be published shortly.
