We're buzzing after our 2017 SOLGM Annual Summit.

The Summit's theme was 'Today, Tomorrow: Turning today's vision into tomorrow's reality'. The presenters certainly delivered on the theme's promise, exploring emerging trends and future focused topics that are redefining our society and the way we work.

On a lighter note, at the Simpson Grierson dinner, delegates learned that local government managers can sing and economists can dance!

Thank you to our Sponsors whose support made the Summit possible.

Government Regulatory Practice Initiative (G-REG) Conference 2017 - Risk and the Communication of Risk
G-REG, a partnership between central and local government, is bringing this Conference to Christchurch on 7 November 2017.

Speakers from across the public sector will present case studies that address themes that unite them as professional regulators: risk identification, risk assessment, risk management and risk communication.

The purpose of this event is:

- Developing organisation capability: from sharing approaches to compliance activities and developing guidance material;
- Developing people capability: from structured and formal training, and shared informal learning; and,
- Developing a professional community of regulators: both resulting from, and enabling the development of, organisation and people capability over time.

To register, please contact andrea.loughran@mbie.govt.nz, G-REG Programme Co-ordinator, today.
