Local Government Innovation Exchange | 4 June 2026 | Sydney

In an era where councils face unprecedented challenges and opportunities, the need for innovation and strategic collaboration has never been more critical.

The Local Government Innovation Exchange is a vital event that brings together the sector’s leaders to explore cutting-edge technologies, share best practices, and develop actionable strategies. 

Hear what practical solutions are available right now and into the future that you can adopt for your council. Discover tools that can enhance your operations, improve service delivery, and drive positive change.

Join us in this transformative journey to shape the future of local government.

The Local Government Innovation Exchange is a premier event designed to bring together executive leaders from every council across NSW to hear from a range of service providers on the solutions they have placed into councils locally and around the country.

This is not a sales event; it is a curated showcase of innovative and practical solutions designed to equip local government leaders with insights that address current challenges and prepare them for future opportunities.

What to Expect at the Innovation Exchange

Delegates attending the 2026 Local Government Innovation Exchange can expect a focused, high‑impact experience building on the success of 2025—bringing together executive leaders to explore practical, proven solutions already transforming councils across NSW and beyond. This year’s program continues the event’s core promise: a curated, non‑sales showcase of cutting‑edge technologies, real‑world case studies, and strategic insights that help councils improve service delivery, strengthen operations, and prepare for emerging challenges.

 

Delegates will gain direct access to innovators, industry experts, and peers, creating a powerful environment for collaboration, problem‑solving, and future‑focused thinking.

 

Who Should Attend the Innovation Exchange

 This conference is designed for senior local government leaders who are responsible for driving innovation, improving service delivery, and shaping the strategic direction of their organisations.

Delegates who will benefit most include General Managers, Directors, and Senior Managers from councils across NSW—particularly those seeking practical insights into technologies, tools, and approaches already being implemented successfully in other councils.

Why Attend the Innovation Exchange

 With a strong emphasis on actionable ideas, sector‑wide learning, and meaningful connections, the 2026 Exchange empowers leaders to return to their organisations with clarity, confidence, and practical tools to drive positive change for their communities.
