iNetwork’s Annual Conference

Our well-established Annual Conference remains the premier opportunity in the North of England to learn, connect and be inspired by transformative, innovative projects from across the public sector. Following the incredible success of our landmark 20th-anniversary conference in Manchester last year, we are thrilled to carry that momentum forward into 2026 with an even more impactful event.

Save the Date: Tuesday 10th November 2026

This year’s conference will bring together an exceptional lineup of inspiring senior speakers,  exhibitors and delegates from across the region, offering a powerful platform for networking, collaboration and gaining fresh insights. We will dive deep into critical public sector themes, exploring everything from driving meaningful community outcomes through social value to staying resilient against modern threats with robust cyber security.
