Local Public Services Conference and Excellence Awards

ResPublica Director Phillip Blond to deliver the closing keynote speech

This year’s CIPR Conference will be held between the 7th and 8th of February at City Hall in Bristol.

The conference is structured so delegates can build their own programme to make sure that it’s relevant to their work. Whether delegates are from a rural or urban area, district, county, city, or London borough, whether they are a Head of Communications or just starting out in their first job, they will be able to choose the sessions that best suit their personal development.

At 3.30 pm on Friday the 8th of February ResPublica Director Phillip Blond – the author of Red Tory, and the brains behind David Cameron’s ‘Big Society’ – will deliver the closing keynote speech about the evolving role of local public services and the implications of the Social Value Act, which he played a large part in developing.
