The countdown is on to the LGP 2025 Annual Conference, taking place 21–22 October 2025 at the beautiful Doltone House, Darling Island in Sydney. Each year, this event brings together procurement professionals from across NSW local government – and 2025 promises to be one of our most forward-looking conferences yet.
With the theme Future Focused: 2026 and Beyond, our program will explore what’s on the horizon for procurement, from emerging technologies to the shifting social, environmental, and economic forces shaping the way we work. Across two days, you’ll hear from industry leaders, learn from real-world council case studies, and connect with peers, suppliers, and sponsors who share your drive for better outcomes.
This year’s sessions will spark fresh thinking and challenge the way we approach our roles. You can expect insights into the future of AI in government, the latest global research on procurement trends, and practical ways to embed empathy into workplace culture to boost performance. We’ll also tackle big issues like FOGO joint procurement, modern slavery, and geopolitical disruption to local supply chains – topics that are shaping not just procurement, but our communities.
Of course, no LGP conference would be complete without opportunities to connect. Whether it’s during morning tea, over lunch, in our Round Robin Networking sessions, or at our busy exhibition space, you’ll have plenty of chances to exchange ideas and strengthen relationships with colleagues and suppliers. Plus, you’ll leave with access to speaker slide decks, making it easy to share what you’ve learned with your team back home.
On night one, we’ll also celebrate excellence in our sector at the LGP Annual Awards. Nominations are now open, so if your council or organisation has delivered exceptional outcomes, this is your chance to put them in the spotlight.
Finally, our Early Bird tickets are available until 31 August 2025, secure your place now and enjoy a saving on your conference ticket!
