Collaboration, Governance, Growth: shaping the future of the LGPS

Book Now

During this period of upheaval, the need for the LGPS to strengthen collaboration between funds and pools has never been clearer, ensuring structural reform is matched by effective governance and a shared purpose

By working together, funds and pools can navigate change more effectively while maintaining the strong governance and long-term focus that underpin the success of the LGPS.

These will be some of the key themes to be explored at this year’s LGC Investment & Pensions Summit which returns to the Eastside Rooms in Birmingham on 9-11 September.

  • New for 2026: A dedicated Friday morning stream focused on local investment, giving delegates even more choice.
  • Bringing together key stakeholders to explore how national ambition can align with local delivery to unlock growth across the UK’s regions.
  • With central government placing greater emphasis on local investment, LGPS funds and Combined Authorities are working more closely together.
  • A clear opportunity to strengthen partnerships and align investment priorities to support regional growth.

The programme for the whole event is being designed to cover the changes and challenges facing the LGPS today and it will be amended and developed to ensure it is as up-to-date and relevant as possible.

Join us in Birmingham this September to gain the insights and perspectives you need to navigate the future of the LGPS.
