Record local authority attendance expected at next week’s LCRIG Innovation and Learning Festival

The LCRIG Innovation and Learning Festival next week is set to be the biggest yet, with record-breaking attendance from local authorities across the UK.

More than 320 attendees from over 90 local authorities have registered, sending senior decision makers and representatives from England, Scotland, Wales and North Ireland.

In addition to this local authority presence, the event has also attracted an unprecedented number of delegates from the wider public sector, including representatives from the Department for Transport, National Highways, the Welsh Government, and the Ministry of Defence.

The Department for Transport will have a significant presence with six teams attending and participating in both the indoor exhibition hall and the Technical Learning Theatre. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the latest updates on the new road condition monitoring data standard ‘PAS 2161: Implementing the New Standard for Road Condition Monitoring’, as well as the DfT Special Recognition Apprentice Awards.

National Highways will also be on hand to showcase a range of exciting new technologies, including CEO-matic – a tool designed to raise awareness of deep fake fraud and build resilience against this growing threat.

The event is supported by a host of association partners, including the IHE, RSTA, RSMA, ARTSM, TOPAS and, Primary Engineer.

Charlotte Bromley, Head of Events, said: “The level of interest from our local authority members has been fantastic, with some authorities committing to send additional delegates beyond their fully funded places. This really shows the value and importance that local authorities attach to this event. We’re also delighted to have such strong support from the Department for Transport and National Highways, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone next week!”
