Co-operative Councils’ Innovation Network Annual Conference

5 September 2017 @ 9:00 am - 6 September 2017 @ 4:30 pm

Public Sector Funding continues to decline. Councils are having to find innovative ways of providing services with reducing budgets.  Our Network was borne from this uncertainty – a direct response to delivering services differently, using the co-operative values and principles.

This year’s Annual Conference is kindly hosted by Oldham Council and will be held at Oldham Civic Centre.  We are putting together an exciting programme of speakers and topics which will be updated as elements are confirmed. Draft Programme.
